Gaudere’s law: Now working even on foreign phrases!

(It’s vergüenza, not verguenza…)

:smiley:

I am with Gabo Garcia Marquez, accents and diéresis must die.

My computer doesn’t have dieresis :slight_smile:

It’s diéresis. :slight_smile:

I prefer to call it umlaut.

its ümlaüt :slight_smile:

In elvish? Or hobbit-ese?

No no no, there is no “Elvish”, its Quenya or Sindarin, Hobbits speak Oestron

Ignorance fought!

So: do you spell umlaut like ümlaüt in Quenya or Sindarin or Oestron?

As long as we’re picking nits, you want it’s, not its.

:D.

Just joking, about the ümlaüt thing, (and ultrafilter got me on the It’s thing).

I should have known better than trying my “nitpick” trick on dopers, it works in real life tough, i once convinced a friend of mine that “Believe” was correctly spelled “Belyeve” by nitpicking small mistakes he made and then “nitpicking” when he wrote it correctly :D.
