SC - Accentuate the positive ...

[Huette von Ahrens]

Thank you Phlip.  I agree with you totally. I have
several accent marks [~`^'"] but for some reason, none
of them will go over the proper letter.  Yes, " is not
the same as an umlaut, but it is the closest thing I
have to it.  Athough adding an e or an h to the word
is considered proper, I dislike the usage because it
leaves me wondering about the proper pronunciation.
And as for thorns, only my roses have them. :-)

And, Phlip, just for your information, I am Mistress
Huette.  I know you don't know me, so I don't expect
you to know all my titles.  I rarely stand on
ceremony. I am a mistress in the Order of the Laurel
and have been since 1981.
