A cartoon in the papers shows a girl, about 7, sitting on mother's lap practicing her reading. " 'Bob ... is as ... big ... as José...' Mom! What's that li'l eyebrow doing on the "e" there?" --- That's an accent, Ruthie. It changes the sound of the "e" in José. See? acute accent. "Cute??! It's adorable!!!!!
