"Motley Crue" is a
terrible name for a band. But "Mötley Crüe," with those
orthographically unnecessary yet menacingly Wagnerian diacritical marks, is a
great name. To properly refer to the World's Most Notorious Rock Band with your
iPhone's keyboard, type a capital "M" and then hold down the letter
"o" for a moment. Up will pop a bunch of O's with diacritical marks .
Slide over to the umlaut. Now do the same with the "u" in
"Crüe."
The iPhone will only let you
place umlauts over vowels (including "y" so that you can write
"Queensrÿche"). But fans of Spın̈al Tap will be disheartened to learn
that you can't type a dotless "i" or an "n" with an umlaut.
This function also works for
less sinister-looking accent marks, like the acute accent, the tilde, and the
circumflex.
Now you can argue about rock legends with the correct diacritical marks. (Screenshot)
