Dutch looks an awful lot like Deutsch, which is how Germans call themselves. Then there's the Pennsylvania Dutch, who are of German origin, adding to the confusion. I've had someone say to me 'Oh you're Dutch? I really love Germany!'.

Jesus. The Bush confusion. "So, how's that spelled? Iran or Iraq?". Those words - Dutch and Deutsch - are of the common origin, but it doesn't excuse anyone.
