So there I was, putting together a grocery order on my phone, using the speech to text transcription function, to explain to the nice text box on the form that I would like in the eventuality of my choice of ice cream not being available, for them to substitute Häagen-Dazs brand coffee ice cream. Which is the only reason it was spelled correctly. I could never.
The form promptly threw an error message I have never seen before:
"We cannot guarantee that our store associates will understand foreign languages. Please use English."
It would not let me enter the contents of that field so long as the umlaut was there.
