Thanks for the tip, Philippa.

I have a Belgian keyboard and routinely use accents in my work without having to remember obscure codes. I was pleasantly surprised to find that a US-based site like Mudcat could cope with them at all, and it only slowly dawned on me that "coping" isn't quite the same thing as handling with ease.

If I'd thought of it, I would have left the fada out of my nom de clavier, but I might as well stick with it now.

Are you happy with the spelling of the most recent version of the Irish words on the other thread? If you have any further corrections and are inhibited from making them by a unilingual English keyboard, just point out the errors and I can correct.
