    You're welcome. It should also be über rather than uber, but I gave up on teaching foreigners about Umlauts long ago.

    I love umlauts.

    I remember when I was learning German, I always thought it was spelled "umlounce", because that's how it always sounded. Nobody ever said "umlaut".

    Should umlaut really be capitalised there, Lolfighter?

    In your sentence, 'umlaut' needs to be in single quotes.

    Only if I was quoting him, which I wasn't, since I said 'umlaut' and he said 'Umlauts'.

    I apologize X_Stickman, but you are incorrect. When referring to a word itself, not an instance of the word, it is correct usage to encase it in single quotes.

    Only if you don't make up your own grammatical system on the fly, like I do.

    actually it should be "unser<b>e</b> grammtische Verteidiger" because there are more than one grammar nazis out there :p

    actually this is becoming offtopic :p
  • lolfighterlolfighter Snark, Dire Join Date: 2003-04-20 Member: 15693Members
    Actually that should be "there is more than one grammar nazi out there." No plural. "There are more grammar nazis out there" would also be correct.
  • PhiXXPhiXX Join Date: 2008-10-22 Member: 65274Members
    damn grammar nazi -.-

    In German it would be capitalised because it's a noun. I guess trollblighter has issues remember which language he's talking in. That's what happens when he speaks the language of three Reichs.
  • lolfighterlolfighter Snark, Dire Join Date: 2003-04-20 Member: 15693Members
    Those three Reichs being Germany, Denmark and Englishland.
