agree  Benno Groeneveld: 'profileren' is dat tegenwoordig Nederlands? Ik vind het maar een brokje onverteerd buitenlands in onze zo rijke taal.

agree  writeaway: it's pure French-instead of using tons and tons of English as 'een brokje onverteerd buitenlands' as is done in NL Dutch, the Belgians tend to borrow French words. surely this has been asked before.and se profiler is used in French all the time.
