Why is this always spelled "Lieder"?! What has it to do with songs?!?

LEADER.

Nice ones.

Ed,

It's, of course, Leader. Some where I saw it spelled "LIEDER" several times. I thought that that was the title. I know better now. Thanks!!

I suspect that "Lieder" business is one of those mis-facts that has gotten stuck in popular usage. Leader, Leader.

Nice badges by the way!
