  • The native pronunciation is comically short, given the length of the word. We should return the favor by somehow making Worcestershire sauce worthy of international news coverage.
  • Typing the ö is easy on Macs: hit Option-U to create the umlaut, then type the O that should go under it. This accent-vowel combining technique works with any vowel and can also be used to add the acute (á) with Option-E, the grave (à) with Option-`, or the circumflex (â) with Option-I.
  • Even if you ignore that it’s a proper noun and allow substitution of the ö with a regular O tile, the number of J’s makes Eyjafjallajökull impossible to spell in an English-language Scrabble game, no matter how bad your letters are.

Hey lets just be glad that there are no erupting volcanos on the flight path between Shenzhen China and the US, otherwise our iPad wouldn't make it on time...
