Why do we even want people only to post in English? Why not post
in whatever your native tongue is? I guess I'll switch to Spanish,
since that's my first language.

I don't speak Spanish, so the word I choose is random. If you wanted to
refer to something with "mañana" in it's name, would you lose the tilde?
The fourth word above <<ensenarme>> has that character as the
fifth letter. Spanish also uses the acute accent over vowels
as necessary. It is common among those who exchange e-mail
in Spanish not to use the special character you allude to,
and to omit accents. The other special letters used in Spanish
already have ASCII equivalents <<ch>>, <<ll>>, and <<rr>>,
and those are used where appropriate. I hear that the <<ch>>
has been removed from the spanish alphabet by the Academia Real.
I've yet to see a dictionary which follows that, though.

You have found the bank of Larn.
I can explain it for you, but I can't understand it for you.
I speak only for myself, and I am unanimous in that!
