Hi!

This doesn't correctly belong here, but as it was brought up, I thought
I'd post a complete list. I'm german, I should know :-)

There are three different Um|auts:
	a", o" and u"
All are also spelled ae, oe and ue. This is just as correct. Actually more
correct than appending " after their vowel.

Just to make the list complete, there is also also a "sharp s", which is
written as ss or more correctly as sz.

Just in case anybody wanted to know...
Mike
