Yep. A couple times I found myself clicking without even checking to see
that it went to right place. I'd just click another one....

Delete diacriticals over a in "Aglarrama" (the title) and "u" in
"Numenor"? And insert period?

Delete diacriticals on 'i' in Tar-Miriel and "u" in Numenor?

Delete diacritical on "u" in "Numenor"?

Finding Diacriticals in Summaries Posted by dwimmer\_laik June 22, 2004 - 1:23:02 Topic ID# 1658
Perhaps we should try to make the technology work for us once more,
rather than doing this by hand, individually.

Here's a list of names commonly (or at least, I remember seeing these
here) in summaries which commonly have diacriticals and which
shouldn't for the sake of browser issues:

Akallabzêth
Berúthiel
Círdan
Dúnadan
Dúnedain
Eärendil
Éomer
Éowyn
Fëanor
Gléowine
Glóin
Gríma
Háma
Húrin
Lothlórien (Lórien)
Lúthien Tinúviel
Míriel
Nazgûl
Númenoreans (or Númenóreans)
Rúmil
Théoden
Théodred
Túrin
Uglúk


Run a search for those names first, correct all of them, and then go
through by hand to see what's left over. Seem like a better idea?

How'd that "z" get in there? "Akallabêth".

You know, as for my own self, I never remember that Numenor has a
diacritical.
