Yeah. Dijkstra is easy. It’s really common around the Hamilton, Ontario area where there’s a large Dutch population.
At least in bastardized Anglo pronounciation it’s always been:
Dike-struh
No idea what it means, though from the context of this thread I’m assuming it has something to do with dykes!

- gpvos 7y agoIt basically means dike-ster (from dike-sitter), someone who lives on or near a dike. The -a is a remnant of an old grammatical case.
