Hollywood not using diacriticals because of caps is patently untrue That's quite possibly true. More likely they think because their lanuage doesn't have any accents then the rest of the world are wrong in using them! |

Usability issues can be addressed by the programmer. Search functions can be modified to accommodate for diacritics. Of course, but we have to work with what is here now, not what might come in the future | | |

Question: Should we include diacritical marks (accents, cedillas, tildes, circumflex, etc) to common names and if so, under what circumstances? Well, yes, as for instance ol' Jürgen Prochnow and Tchéky Karyo are both mainly credited (correctly) as such in both their 'foreign' films and US ones... | | | Erik
