    I’m all in favor of zuruck replacing return, because that just sounds cooler. Plus z doesn’t get enough use in my programs these days.

        Do as most non-DACH countries do: Just use the regular letter instead of the Umlaut.

        Example:
        Über-Mensch -> Uber-Mensch

          If you replace the ü in “Das Wetter ist schwül” (“the weather is humid”) with a u though, you get “the weather is gay”.

          But that’s just wrong. ü has a different meaning and pronunciation than u.

          If umlauts aren’t available, the correct way to write umlauts is with an additional e: zurueck.

          Über-Mensch -> Uber-Mensch

          Please be aware that this term can be problematic, since it can be seen as a foundation for fascist ideas. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Übermensch#Use_by_the_Nazis

      I often use z as a temp variable when i need something to compare to when creating new code but don’t want a separate window to the side or to experiment with something but don’t yet know what the result can or will be. I use z purely just because i know z is very very unlikely to have been used elsewhere, and if for some reason it has, then i just name it ‘zz’.

      This is actually temporary by the way. It does not stay in my code. Once I’m done with it, i delete it.
