Valdís:
I know that's the trope, yes, but dangit, English-speakers, it's not an Umlaut. Nor is the Scandinavian ö/ø. They're letters in the same way O and Q are different. :-P
ankhtahr:
Umlauts are separate letters in German as well, at least in most definitions.
Smallest:
I'd like Faye to go and come back, it seems like there could be some interesting character exploration there, which might make her more relevant to the comic again.
I also think Claire's comment was more silly than rude (although that is my kind of silly and my jokes often get interpreted as serious and not nice). My opinion is disputable since she didn't make the Claire face, though. In fact, she made a rather Clinton face.
Also, I read Dora's last comment in RuPaul's voice. "Oooh girl, I hope you got your runnin' shoes on!"

It's a quirk of German education in the United States that umlauts are taught as a "modifier" instead of a separate letter. At least in my personal experience.
toffee-skye:
i am so glad for Claire right now, because in my opinion Faye did miss the point with Angus. thank you Claire for saying exactly what i was thinking.
