Hic et ubiqueCartoon seen (raised eyebrow)
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!!!!! And I want one on
my name too!!!!"
