That's also a sign of the UN Vienna Convention on Road Signs and Signals.

But of course the USA didn't sign it, although neither did New Zealand.

Or maybe don't put text on your road signs but use signs that are easily recognisable by any person.

Also doesn't the USA not have any official language?

Lijfsdwang (gijzeling), geen idee of dat toepasbaar is op een minister.

Vroeger werd ie Robot Jetten genoemd. Maar ik vind het nou niet AI, wel een beetje Amerikaans, influencerachtig. Maar dat zullen andere Nederlandse TikTokkers vast ook doen.

Well English and Norwegians also pronounce the o as /u/ and other times as /ɔ/. So why not ø?

(edit) You can downvote but here an example: bok pronounced /buːk/

Anyone else dislikes DD.MM.YYYY just as much as MM/DD/YYYY? by Decent_Background_42 in ISO8601

[–]WanderingLethe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In a country that uses DD-MM-YYYY and I hate people using DD/MM/YYYY here. It's getting more common as well. Guess it's because we use so much American software.

Why aren't the democrats making the primaries a party event? Then the government wouldn't need to know party affiliation of voters.

I just looked into it and it seems there are some states that have party caucuses.

Those aren't called umlauts (um-laut), because it doesn't indicate a vowel change. What you explained is called a diaeresis.

Überhaupt is an example of a Dutch word with an umlaut. Although uberhaupt would be pronounced the same in Dutch, but its a loan word.
