i think what really annoys me about Anglos dropping diacritical* marks on all letters of words and names they don't even know is that they've gotten rid of them in their own language, where their primary use was distinguishing foreign words and their pronunciation from words that have been in the language a little longer:

- résumé: you know what this word means and how it's pronounced

- resume: good luck

it's then no longer a simple skill you can acquire, but all about deep immersion

nostr:npub189nhq0cw33243htm08c53vjvgc5letv7d9sgqtgqsn6fnx6dv8zs0fsatx i remember a brief period in my youth when every other month a politician in Austria had to step down because of a shitty thing they did (or… because they didn't do their job).

That feels like an awfully long time ago.
