Hello. Martin Stromberg wrote: > While the o with dots is correct (nice one), o-umlaut isn't. It's a > letter in its own right in Swedish (although it is the same glyph(?): > ö). I seem to remember my German teacher telling me that an umlaut and the symbol with two dots (whose name eludes me) were different. The two-dots symbol is used in Zoe on the 'e', which is a different sound in German to an umlaut, which should be written as two vertical lines IIRC. Are there any Germans in the Haus who can confirm this? Bye, -- Richard Dawe richdawe AT bigfoot DOT com ICQ 47595498 http://www.bigfoot.com/~richdawe/
