	I am not throwing knives…… Why do people mix the use words with and without the umlaut (ü) with not using it? As an example, you see Schützen or Schuetzen. Of course, both are proper but when one word is written without the umlaut and then the next has uses an umlaut it strikes me as odd. When writing in German I generally do not use umlauts, I have a US keyboard and don’t know the keystrokes to insert them. When it is important I use the “insert” function but generally go without them. So, the question is: Why would a Verein not use the Umlaut in their name like this, "Schützenverein Mitteltal e.V.". It is the name of my local club in Mitteltal.

What puts my hair on edge is people mispronouncing the word "Angst", especially combined with a Boston accent Although Ballards can be ok I don't believe there is one that can hold a candle to a Gemmer Trapdoor.

American shooters might recognize Schuetzen either way and use the umlaut for it, but they probably don't know which other words use it. I avoid the umlaut because it can be just a silly marketing logo here (and I'm too lazy to look up the Unicode).

	The use of Schuetzen is not a new thing. It was commonly spelled that way in the 1890s and into the 20th century in newspaper and magazine articles about shooting matches. My take, is that was an Americanizing of the German spelling. Of course I could be wrong about that

	Randy W ASSRA 10211 - ISSA 125 There are indeed two Americas. Simply put, it is not the haves and have nots. The two Americans are in reality divided into those who do and those who don't.

	An umlaut in German gives the letter a long vowel sound. As an example, the city of Köln in Germany is pronounced and spelled "Cologne" in English.
