Umlauts sell? I can’t believe it.
If umlauts would really sell the German economy would be in an alltime high…

    Umlauts totally sell – that’s the only way Hüsker Dü has sold any albums in the states.

    OK that was a cheap shot on my part, but the use of umlauts for no reason at all bothers me ever since I took 3 years of German in high school.

    If you add an umlaut to mönochrøm, whatch your web hits from America go up!

    It’s like the Darden thing. People don’t want to buy quality German engineering as much as they want the impression they are buying quality German engineering.
