Call me anal-retentive, but it stuck out immediately in today's email. It appears that Numenéra is misspelled as Numénera (accent on the wrong 'e') on every related product on the site. It's particularly egregious because it shows up right next to product photos:

It shouldn't have an accent at all, the line above the second "e" is just art. Event Monte's own site spells it "Numenera," no accents.
Fixed.

Yeah, I can certainly see why people would mistake that line above the second "e" as an accent. Probably wasn't the best idea from a logo design standpoint ...
Using decorations that could be construed as accents, or using "fake" accent marks to make a name look cooler is actually a personal pet peeve of mine. (Mostly because I was taught to pronounce said accents. >.> )

In Swedish, the band name Troja becomes hilarious, when they added dots above the o. See, Tröja means shirt in swedish... I so so so wish I had a merch shirt saying Tröja.

Agreed!
Although, I must admit ... as a kid, I thought the way Mötley Crüe spelled their name was totally cool, even though I had no idea why they did it! :)

Even the ones who don't mean anything become hilarious when you pronounce the umlauted letters in Swedish.

OMG! Yes! This!
Glottal stops are hard enough for English speakers to wrap their heads around without torturing the idea any further.
