    :monster: Umulats

    They add such a nice flair to a word, and they look so adorable while doing it too!

    You mean Umlauts, right? XD

    And I prefer the Scharfes-S, AKA the Es-Zett.

    For example, Preußler.
    [You spit on mercy? Then you will have none! You want carnage?!]

    [Garrosh will get more blood than EVER he bargained for!]

    My dad prefers that one as well.
    Jack: How do you know?

    Will: It's more of a feeling really.

    Jack: Well, that's not scientific. Feeling isn't knowing. Feeling is believing. If you believe it, you can't know because there's no knowing what you believe. Then again, no one should believe what they know either. Once you know anything that anything becomes unbelievable if only by virtue of the fact you now... know it. You know?

    Will: No.

    If Demolition Man were remade today

    Huxley: What's wrong? You broke contact.
    Spartan: Contact? I didn't even touch you.
    Huxley: Don't you want to make love?
    Spartan: Is that what you call this? Why don't we just do it the old-fashioned way?
    Huxley: NO!
    Spartan: Whoa! Okay, calm down.
    Huxley: Don't tell me to calm down!
    Spartan: What's gotten into you? 'Cause it sure as hell wasn't me.
    Huxley: Physical relations in the way of intercourse are no longer acceptable John Spartan.
    Spartan: What? Why the hell not?
    Huxley: It's the law, John. And for your information, the very idea that you suggested it makes me feel personally violated.
    Spartan: Wait a minute... violated? Huxley what the hell are you accusing me of here?
    Huxley: You need to leave, John.
    Spartan: But Huxley.
    Huxley: Get out!
    Moments later Spartan is arrested for "violating" Huxley.

    By the way, that's called satire. Get over it.

    I assume you mean those half-man half-beasts that live on the borders of the Shadowlands. I personally can't stand them.

    Nah, I usually picked Axel Steel when I played Guitar Hero.

    I like umlauts and the scharfes-S, though I never bothered to learn the alt-codes for them when I studied German and used to leave Character Map permanently open when doing German homework. Plus, lets face it, things sound better in their native tongue than their Anglicised versions. Köln > Cologne.

    One day I hope to take up German lessons again, though I'm glad I was able to visit Germany and speak the local lingo before I forgot it all (even if the locals would embarrass me by switching to English sometimes ;_;).

    If I look at the word Umlaut I want to pronounce it uhm-lout which makes me think of the punctuation as kind of a jerk. Also I don't really know what they do, I just know they're super fancy.

    Signature by rubah. I think.
