Spelling and grammar: Rotterdam, with an accent mark and a single t, is the correct form

The Fundación del Español Urgente (FundéuRAE) has issued a formal recommendation regarding the correct spelling of the Dutch city Rotterdam in Spanish. The organization specifies that the term must be written as 'Róterdam,' incorporating an accent mark on the first 'o' and utilizing only a single 't'.

This guidance serves to address common inconsistencies found in media reporting. The clarification emphasizes the ongoing importance of orthographic precision and coherent writing, noting that maintaining proper standards remains a professional asset in an era often characterized by the demand for immediate communication.
