    Typo?

    Hey guys... i didnt wanna start a new thread for this so sorry if one already exists... however

    the Aston Martin DB9 LM page in the article it has the name Nurburgring (sorry if i can't spell) wih a "?" in it... something very similar to this (again sorry for spelling) N?rburgring...

    not sure if thats meant to be there or not... making sure your aware or not hey

    The correct German spelling uses the U "umlaut" character - U wuth two dots above it.
    You don't have full ascii character set in the font on your computer.
    It's putting in '?' instead.



    Often non-Europeans will spell it without the umlaut or with a "ue" - the "standard" way to indicate umlaut on keyboards with no German character support.

    Hope that helps

    Out of interest, what type computer, operating system, web browser and ISP ?

    It was actually stored wrongly in the database. I made some changes, but it might get screwed again when we reload the database.
