Hi Fränk, I like your profile pic a lot ;-) But those transliterated umlaut (ae) always makes me a bit sick.
Btw: I'm Jörn, not Jörg, but I stopped counting, how often people mixed that up.
lol... look at me... how embarrassing, I read the post and seconds later I've already confused it again...
There you have it... I was only busy looking at the Umlaut and ADHD took care of the rest.
I love my transliterated Umlauts, I guess I made them my "branding"?!
It all stems from the fact that Umlauts are tough to type on non-German keyboards, and by now, even despite having a EURKey Layout, when I do write in German I hardly ever use proper Umlauts at all...
lot of things that don't matter at all, I'm just trying to blabber on to get past the fact that I messed up your name so impolitely :P
P.S.: I corrected my own name to a wrong spelling above just to express how sorry I am ;)
Haha, nevermind. Maybe if you're forced to use umlauts, it's different from choosing to do so because of your branding.
I always had the feeling, that I'm a different person, when I write Joern rather than Jörn, but it's also difficult, because I guess nobody (outside Germany and the nordic countries) is able to pronounce it correctly.

That's the charm with "Fränk"... English speakers nail that, but try having them say "Fr[aa]nk"... lol
Then again "Dschorn" sounds pretty weird either way... I understand why you opt for a shortcut there :P
Nice comeback! :D
the shame... the embarrassment... ADHD ruined my life :P
