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!!!!"

Seen in the Wall Street Journel:

Curmudeonly titan of industry, coming home at te end of the day with a scowl on his face, says to his wife, "Wonderful day today. All schadenfreude."
