Sorry, Anna. Your post reminded me of a scene from Weird Al Yankovich's movie "The Vidiot from UHF." There were a collection of movie previews in it, and one was for the movie "Gandhi II - He's back, and this time he ain't taking any crap."
In that Mohandesque spirit, I am leaping to my own defence, with a quote from my earlier post on the subject of accented characters:
. For those Windows users who use only a few accented characters, here are some of the more common - hold down the Alt key while pressing the numbers on the numeric keypad.
