DiÄcritics Äre Win
I just read how to add the "Two dots that they put over certain words in German" (or Diaeresis/ Umlaut in non-layman's terms) over a letter using an ASCII keyboard. Simply put, the key-combination is Shift+Ctrl+;+[letter]. It only works with vowels(Ä,Ë,Ï,Ö,Ü and Ÿ), mind you, and MSN Messenger and Microsoft Word are the only applications this has worked for me with(It doesn't work in Firefox). It's neat, I'll admit, but I don't speak any languages that actually use the diacritic(Or any languages other than English).
But, I just thought it would be nice to put that out for y'all to see. It's too awesome not to be noted.
...
On another note, I really need to learn how to speak German. I know a whole bunch of words from it, and it's pronunciation, it's just that I know nothing of it's grammar, and the words I know aren't enough, and I need to learn Mexican Spanish more than it...
