I think you used option-grave-e instead of option-e-e. (The grave key is the lowercase tilde key.)

I had to learn these tricks to type menus, like table d'hôte.

How did you do that? I usually use the glyph palette to insert funny characters.

Option key and apostrophe key ...

still can't get my accent to flip

Today is March 4, National Grammar Day!

I know that HGS can post things in this forum that most of us can't, since he's one of the administrators. For example, there were those upside-down letters a while back. So this is a test to see if these accent marks are available to the rest of us. This was done on an iMac; I don't know how to get these on a PC.

á é í ó ú Á É Í Ó Ú (option-E followed by a vowel)
à è ì ò ù À È Ì Ò Ù (option-` followed by a vowel)
ä ë ï ö ü Ä Ë Ï Ö Ü (option-U followed by a vowel)
â ê î ô û Â Ê Î Ô Û (option-I followed by a vowel)
ñ Ñ (option-N followed by N)


P.S.: Yes, it works.

On a PC I had to use ALT+####. For example:

• ALT+0224—>à
• ALT+0226—>â
• ALT+0230—>æ
• ALT+0231—>ç
• ALT+0232—>è
• ALT+0233—>é
• ALT+0234—>ê
• ALT+0235—>ë
• ALT+0238—>î
• ALT+0239—>ï
• ALT+0244—>ô
• ALT+0251—>û
• ALT+0249—>ù
• ALT+0156—>œ

Soooooooo is Grammar day Anglo centric or is it Amero-Anglo centric and thereby discriminatory in either case?

Well, English is the official language of many countries. The United States, however, does not have a national language, although 28 states do have English as their official language.
