    That may be the case in Danish Dutch, but it’s incorrect to call them mills in English.

      Dutch = the Netherlands

      Danish = Denmark.

      If you’re going to be a Poindexter about windmills, then at least get the language right of the country you are criticizing.

      I’m also terribly sorry that we don’t call them wind turbines and that it triggers you that we call them windmills because of trump. We called them windmills decades before Trump even knew what they were and we will continue to do so.

          Thank you. I just don’t appreciate to be told that the way we refer to windmills in my country is wrong because trump says it. I found that pretty insulting and gave the energy back.
