Strange.... In German, the plural for Eingang (all nouns capitalized) would be
Eingänge - or, if you have no umlaut (I'm speaking English here so no caps), it
would be Eingaenge. Is this really correct English?? I'm loosing touch......

By the way, a few days ago some people spelled my old teacher's name wrong. It's
Dieter Klöcker - or Kloecker and not Klocker. If you have no umlaut, you need to
add an e instead: ä @-----.
