What about the ess-zett?

 

I am not sure, I seem to remember in first year they were telling us to use "ss" instead as it will probably be phased out also.

 

I don't know the alt-code for that either.

No.  No.  Yes.

 

(The 'ue' is closer to the pronounciation of 'ü' than 'u' so that's why it is written like that, especially if you don't have those keys on your keyboard.  There's a few languages around Europe that do that because of the extra letters they have in their language)

I thought that at first but was then confused by the site www.muenchen.de which will be so non Germans can type in the url.

 

I just copy & pasted the name with an umlaut.

 

Where do you draw the line though with calling names by their native name.

Do you call it Germany or Deutschland, Spain or España, England or Cuntland?

 

Deutschland, España, Cuntland.

 

 

 

 

I must get up to speed with this. Ive just told my father that I plan on visiting Cuntland this year and he slapped me and scrubbed my mouth out with carbolic and domestos. Are you sure thats the correct pronunciation. ???

 

 

No you don't.

It's a preference thing.

 

I call Seville Sevilla.

 

I call Munich Muenchen.

 

If I knew other languages I would make an effort to say a place in the language of the country it is in.

 

Majorca is as good as english anyway... I've been there a couple of times, years ago, and have never seen such a concentration of Brits abroad - bar nowhere!

 

... so I'll stick with the "j"  :thumbsup:
