If an alliance is created with a name that utilizes such a rare character, then they deserve to have their name spelled wrong repetitively.

Gramlins Gramlins Gramlins

gRAMlins?

I hoped this was going to be another person going off about "rogue" versus "rouge"

Wow I forgot all about that alliance. But what was the point of that weird character anyway?

You couldn't search for them ingame. You had to change the URL manually. Ingenious really.

RIP Grämlins, lol Ramlins.

Gramlins is wrong but Gremlins is right?

Probably because 'ä' is pronounced closer to 'e' than 'a' and because Gremlin is the common English spelling of the term that the alliance is based off of, whereas Gramlin is meaningless as well as likely to result in bad mispronunciation of the name.

I'm glad to see VE creating a Department of Spelling finally.

I very rarely agree with you, and the fact that I do now is causing me to seriously reconsider whether I am actually correct.

So the name intentionally contained an obscure vowel character, and now Bob's annoyed at people's phonetically incorrect attempts to write it in standard English? Gramlin please.

Will the VE Dept of Spelling be charging Impero, or does the Lord get free service?

For all you kiddoes out there in TV land it's alt+132 ä. If you can't remember the code, "e" is closer because the umlaut brings the vowel sound to the top of the throat, giving the "a" more of an "eh" than the sounds associated with an English a. If you're all technical about it, "ae" is better because the umlaut started out as a tiny e over the letters until it was abbreviated to two dots.

Actually we have changed the rules of the English language to go along with the way he posts. For example, I would reference you're post, not the old and outdated 'your post'.

He isn't asking everyone to get it exactly correct, just adjust it properly.

Bob, you know I find spelling to be offensive. Thus, I must disapprove.

This is why you are only Regent, it is clearly Soylent Greemlins.

Your very name is a flagrant grammar mistake: it should read «L'impero romano».

In a certain way you thus reached "perfection"!

I also blame Bob for having revived my nostalgia for the Härmlins.

it's gRAMlins. sorry. I'm using the a.

numlock alt-132 right?
