Leaving off German Umlauts is not a good idea either (konnte-könnte). *Lunatic*, n. One whose delusions are out of fashion.

I think it is the State Legislature that must overturn the moratorium. I've not heard many calls for it. The Gov. who imposed it did so because a slew of people on Death Row were proven innocent or did not get fair hearings. So he said, no death penalthy until we can insure no innocent people are put to death. Which is an impossible standard and in effect abolishing the dealth penalty without having public support to do so.
I suppose it could be brought back, depending on the circumstances. But I think there is a lot of death/outrage fatigue in the country at the moment. "Pretending that you already know the answer when you don't is not actually very helpful." ~Migeru.
The other possible reasonis that it may say in the French constityution that citizens cannot be extradfited to third party states under certain conditions. As An example of something like this look at Ronnie Biggs one of the UK's great train robbers. He fled to Brazil, and managed to avoid extradition for 16 years as he had fathered a Brazilian child, and under Brazilian law, he had to remain in Brazil to pay for the childs upkeep. Any idiot can face a crisis - it's day to day living that wears you out.
Anyway, if we are to believe the claims in the article, they just don't extradite French nationals, period. "The basis of optimism is sheer terror" - Oscar Wilde

Wouldn't it be interesting if BAe managers were extradited over that bribery scandal that was made to go away. Any idiot can face a crisis - it's day to day living that wears you out.

from Human rights watches press briefing on the Geneva conventions
POW status provides protection only for the act of taking up arms against opposing military forces, and if that is all a POW has done, then repatriation at the end of the conflict would be required. But as Article 82 of Third Geneva explains, POW status does not protect detainees from criminal offenses that are applicable to the detaining powers' soldiers as well. That is, if appropriate evidence can be collected, the United States would be perfectly entitled to charge the Guantanamo detainees with war crimes, crimes against humanity, or other violations of U.S. criminal law, whether or not they have POW status. As Article 115 of the Third Geneva Convention explains, POWs detained in connection with criminal prosecutions are entitled to be repatriated only "if the Detaining Power [that is, the United States] consents."
Either way, if Peterson ever left French soil, the U.S. then could arrest Peterson and prosecute him in Illinois, without risking double jeopardy protection, he contended.
Yeah, sure, after Guantanamo, it is clear the US has the right to arrest anyone, anywhere, except in France. Un roi sans divertissement est un homme plein de misères

Strictly speaking, a pair of dots is an Umlaut only if it changes the quality of a vowel. In Latin languages it is used to break a dypthong so they are not Umlauts. Can the last politician to go out the revolving door please turn the lights off?

I note all but 3-4 of the vocals corresponding to the 43 letters exist in French or English. And the very first, denoted with a, I know to exist in only one other language: German, but German-speakers trying to pronounce a Hungarian a don't realise until one points them out. *Lunatic*, n.

The various Finno-Ugric languages of the Finnish branch live from the Urals to Finland in the North of Russia. I note some Ukrainian nationalists want to deny that Russians are 'true' Slaws on the basis that Moscow's missionaries Christianised a lot of Finno-Ugric people and the populations merged... with present-day Udmurt etc. speaking populations as mere left-overs. No idea if there is any quantitative data on the mixing and on the modern 'Russian' gene pool, tough. *Lunatic*, n. One whose delusions are out of fashion.

You might notice that "w" is absent, but we actually dropped it long before bush became president.
I believe the finnish alphabeth is written the same way but å is prounanced "ruotsalainen o", that is "swedish o". So swedish/finnish alphabeth is quite right. A vote for PES is a vote for EPP! A vote for EPP is a vote for PES! Support the coalition, vote EPP-PES in 2009!

Another more archaic option dispenses with the hyphen question altogether and employs the umlaut convention common in Germanic languages where a vowel following another vowel influences the pronunciation of the second vowel. Thus the words above become coöperation, coöperative, coöp, and coöper. However, this is convention is generally not used today.
In all cases, assume that in a dispute between american and english, the american use is wrong. ;-)))) keep to the Fen Causeway
Recently I was recalling a Spanish verse that goes Qué descansada vida la del que huye del mundanal ruïdo... where ruido s correctly pronounced as rUI-dO but the poet needs three syllables to preserve the meter and so he forces rU-Ï-dO which is signalled in writing by using a dieresis. This is from the 16th century, when the preservation of meter was foremost in poetry. Nowadays, with free verse, people don't bother with meter and so they don't have a need to do violence to words with dieresis. Can the last politician to go out the revolving door please turn the lights off?
It gives diaraesis for the typographical sign ¨
directing the second of two vowels to be pronounced separately, as in naïve
