@bryanrbeal Where did that money go?? Numb nuts it went to wages, facilities, RD which will roll forward into new projects. Equipment which can be repurposed. Failed projects still result in a more skilled work force.
@kbutterly@michaelbd And if you researched you’d see that the US state department agreed to adopt it officially in exchange for support for NATO expansion, but urges all communications with American audiences to maintain the old spelling for clarity.
@kbutterly@michaelbd It makes no sense in all the material to spell it with an umlaut, we don’t even have a phonetic language so you can spell stuff however and have arbitrary pronunciation rules.
@kbutterly@michaelbd You should do some research. The funniest example to me is Canada. Should be no surprise that they immediately and swiftly adopted the new spelling and pushed it out. But how do you think the it landed in Quebec (clue they still use their native spelling/pronunciation)
