“It’s like a pair of eyes. You’re looking at the umlaut, and it’s looking at you.” — This is Spinal Tap
umlauts are only cool if its Motörhead using ’em.
how do you make an umlaut?
my friends name Anaiss (im too lazy too make one) has an umlaut over the “i”… she adds a smile under the 2 dots…its pretty awesome! neadless to say, im jealous!

What is an (parden the lack of accents: I am sadly computer semi-illiterate, made sadder by the fact that my dad programs computers) umlaut?
3) I shall copy this from my other post which found this at about dot com ( I think I started this, and it came about because of Ötzi’s Ö in her name.
“# On a Mac, hold down Opt while typing the letter to create characters with umlaut accent marks.
# Under Windows hold down ALT while typing the appropriate number code on your numeric keypad to create characters with umlaut accent marks.
For Windows, the number codes for the upper case letters are:
Ä 0196
Ë 0203
à 0207
Ö 0214
Ü 0220
Ÿ 0159
For Windows, the number codes for the lower case letters are:
ä 0228
ë 0235
ï 0239
ö 0246
ü 0252
ÿ 0255
# In HTML, to create umlaut accent marks type the & (ampersand symbol) then the letter (A, e, etc.), then the letters uml, then ; (semicolon) such as:
& euml; (no space) for ë
& Uuml; (no space) for Ãœ”
THANKS GAPA!!
I shall use umlauts in my next comment, I am too lazy to do that right now.

21) Yësh! (à äm üsïng Lïnüx, änd äm töö läzÿ tö tÿpë äll the HTML, so I am cöpÿing it, and just got lazy again and am not even copying it now. ^-^) Once I am back on Windows, I shall use the umlauts again!
15- on my compy, the option key is the same as the alt key.
If I recall correctly (I’m on my office Dell PC and can’t check), to make an umlaut on a Macintosh you hit option+u (option and letter u keys at the same time). Nothing will happen. If you then type a vowel, the vowel will appear with an umlaut over it.
Why “u”? I suspect it’s because in German, “u” is the letter that most often takes an umlaut. On a Mac, other diacritical marks (such as the acute accent, the circumflex, and the cedilla) are also triggered by option plus letters they normally modify in French and German. That makes them easier to remember.

[sry just practicing]
Thank you. It didn’t work, but I probably did something wrong.
The teächer explained to us how to actually pronöunce ümlauts during chörale today (We’re doing a German song right now). Guess you’re supposed to hav your mouth in an “ooooo” shape, but then pronounce whatever vowel has the umlaut.
Sort of. In German, an umlaut over “u” turns it into a strange sort of oo-ee sound that verges on the “ur” sound in “murder.” An umlaut over “a,” however, makes it sound like either “ay” or “eh” or somewhere in between.
In English, the umlaut is called diaeresis (rhymes with “thesis”) and can show that two vowels in a row are pronounced individually. It’s old-fashioned and rare except in magazines like the New Yorker, which still likes to write “coöperate” just to be different. J. R. R. Tolkien used it to separate vowels in Elvish words such as “namárië,” where it meant “this doesn’t rhyme with ‘starry’ or ‘vary’; be sure to pronounce the last ‘e.'”
Hello! So, for umlaut day, we write umlauts over ALL of our vowels and y’s? Cool!!!
I shall start practicing now:

October 5.
44) NOOO!! SEPTEMBER 25!!! I call it, GAPAS. Listen to me. *mwahahahaha*
Anyways, I already told all my friends that it was September 25th.
So you have to now.
Plëäsë?
All right, as October 5 is already the Day of Flamablamablous Celebration.
60) *throws cow pie at Robert Coontz* But I am still celebrating it this year as September 25th. Grr you.
We should have one every month on random days. That would be more fun. Then I would rewind time and throw a nutella pie or a pecan pie at you instead. Or just hand it to you with a fork and spoon.
Whichever you preferred.
Hold your pies! Look at the calendar. September 25 is Umlaut Day. October 5 is the Day of Flamablamablous Celebration. Isn’t that what you wanted?
…What’s the Day of Flamablamablous Celebration? Is it something I should know about?
62) YAAAAAAY!!!!!!!
Sorry, I was in a hurry, because I had to work on a project that is due for school on Monday, and I can’t work on it tomorrow, and I basically have tonight to work on it, and three words written.
I am happy. Do you want your nutella pie and your pecan pie and your random pie of Robert-Coontz-Favorite-ness thrown at you or given to you with a fork and spoon?
*rewinds time and switches pies out*
there are Umlauts over my cousin Zoë’s (Aka Pink stalking penguin of penzance) name.

Oh…Now that is flippin’ sweet.
I didn’t know Sept. 25 was Umlaut Day because I was busy all weekend and the Internet was broken to my computer on Monday. Can we have another? Maybe in November? And this week is banned books week. The last day of school in Sept. is Ask A Stupid Question Day.
(sorry im on a windows, no umlauts) To Make and umlaut pie, type a page full of umlauts, print it, shred it, and put the shreds in a pie.
umalts…umalts… um?
I’ll try soon…
I’m typing ön ä Gemän keyböärd! It häs ümlauts built in för Ä, Ö, and Ãœ. Älso the y and z are in öppösite pläces. Änd the pünktuation, too.
