Good thing we have Spın̈al Tap to keep us grammatical.

Cultural appropriation? Linguistic appropriation?

[ABBA]

We hate when that happens.

I detect a misappropriation of Locomotive Breath.

Wasn't: "Never covet thy neighbors misappropriated umlauts" the eleventh stone dropped by Moses?

[Lucky Jack]

Ian's just trying to make the world a better place.

[Meanie the Blue]

Speaking of appropriation ....

[Clankie]

Pronouns come under attack daily and this guy is worried about umlauts ?

[Pullet Surprise]

Always respect your grammar. There are so many parts of this universe, why focus on just one malaprop-ism? I would think that solving the apostrophe misappropriation would be more worthy of such attention. By the way, why is it not Jëthrö Tüll?

I say we petition the Council for German Orthography for a ruling. Of course, the petition would need to be in proper German.

[From Allen at Division:]

I think that should be "malappropriating"...

[wiredog]

I, personally, think Mr Anderson is thick asa brick if he’s getting worked up about umlauts.

My Umlaut story.

Many decades ago a very attractive blue-eyed blonde brught her daughter in for treatment. I noticed her daughter looked nothing like her, red hair, freckle-face somewhat hyper kid. Heather Locklear also had a small baby she toted around. So, one afternoon at the front desk I asked if she would like to make a payment. She pulls out her checkbook and says, "I have one check left and my baby needs diapers." I immediately said, "buy your baby the diapers." Then I reasserted my eyeballs back into their socket and wiped away the drool.

So, sometime later she shows up with this dirty Umlaut. He was a troll-looking biker, dirty leather jacket, with green rotted teeth, most of which were not present in the upper front, the central incisors to be specific. And most noticeable of all, He stunk. So, realizing he was THE FATHER of her children I say something stupid like, "you were not ere last week, would you like to make a payment?"

He says, "we were in mammouth, man."

That's when I noticed his teeth were green, incisors missing and He stunk.

To this day, I remember asking my self over and over (I still do ask), what the *HELL* was Heather Locklear doing with an that Umlaut?

I know the Umlaut has gone back to his home guarding a bridge, living under it, scaring little kids who attempt to cross. Heather, she is no doubt still winning weekly wet T-shirt contest up in mammoth where ever the *HELL* that is.

[Pullet Surprise]

Most guys just leave her hanging there.

I can't believe this has been around all day and no one reminded us of when the UMLAUT MISAPPROPRIATORS opened for both Motörhead AND Mötley Crüe.
