As somebody whose name contains an Umlaut, it always makes me mad when Americans people who don’t use a German keyboard layout just leave out the dots. That is not my name. :(
correct: ä = ae ö = oe ü = ue (and ß = ss)
INCORRECT: ä = a ö = o ü = u
Leaving out the dots can actually change the meaning of words. Examples:
schwül: muggy, sticky schwul: gay [homosexual] ächten: to outlaw achten: to regard/respect sb./sth. schön: beautiful schon: already, yet
Respect the Umlaute :(
