404 has made an excellently funny joke.

In German, vowels with an umlaut (that's the two dots over the U and A in our example) are spelled out as [letter]e if you don't have an output device (when I learned about them, typewriter) with the special characters. In short, he spelled it exactly the same way I did. :high five:
Yes, but... do be germanly correct : Glühbirnenändernschein should it be. But they wouldn't write it like that but certainly Glühbirnenänderungsschein (or, because it's very hip to use abreviations nowadays Glübiänds)
