Here in Grenoble, France, we love type! And the classic rules are a starting point. Respecting these conventions gives us a guarantee to be understandable and legible but of course these rules are evolving with the uses. Here In Europe there are a lot of languages with many different accents, that gives us the joy to discuss hours about having to use the caps with accent or not? That is the question. I say yes! Because the current technology makes that possible and the caps without accent can change dramatically the sens of the sentence. Example: UN PÈRE INDIGNÉ… devient : UN PERE INDIGNE. (A SHOCKED FATHER… becomes: AN UNWORTHY FATHER). Don’t you feel bored with the accent less English?
