Usage notes
Both the German spelling en Gemütlichkeit and the anglicized en gemutlichkeit (sometimes en gemuetlichkeit) are found, with the anglicized form dropping the initial upper case and the umlaut. The mixed forms *Gemutlichkeit or *gemütlichkeit (making one such change) are considered spelling errors.
