Has MudCat taken leave of its senses ? Whence all this gobbledigook? When I first began contributing to this service, I was delighted to see that the "fada" (accent aigu)was rendered faithfully. This meant that the accurate rendition of Irish song lyrics was assured - a huge advance over the awful inconvenience of the "/". Am I to assume that we be forced to revert to this primative device? Moreover, since my tastes encompass several other accent-using languages, am I to be reduced to the torture of decoding ? I have found MudCat to be a very valuable source of information, don't force me to sign off - permanently. Annraoi
