Ü is not just "funny U"
obviously it's also a friendly smiley face
The only acceptable misinterpretation Ü
As someone with an ø in my real name, I have had to explain it so many times 😮💨
Once, back when I was still on fb, some troll reported me for using a "fake" name based on it and I had to send fb a picture of my passport to reactivate my account 🤬
With a language that can't even comprehend all of their own letters and has to call one "double-U", they can't comprehend additional letters...
With English as my only language I can confirm
Our brains go to mush like seeing a biblically accurate angel as we cannot the fathom the sheer infinity of another letter
Such confident ignorance
It is if it's in a rock band's name though
They are definitely the worst offenders :'D
I'll never not pronounce it motÖrhead
Mötley Crüe
That just sounds silly
I don't believe you.
It is a funny U in English, which is the only language that matters.
Yes, i'm American. How could you tell?
Just a gut feeling
Do you mean a güt feeling?
Now listen here you little
No, it's a metal U. Diacritics are vowels run through a distortion filter.
Lol nice one
