Just an FYI about the tilde... The tilde plays a major role in letting a
Spanish Speaking person tell the difference between his anus and a year.
Spanish word for anus is 'ano' and the Spanish word for year is 'an�o'
(pronounced 'an-yo')(the tilde is placed directly over the n, not like I put
it...it is an additional letter in the Spanish alphabet called enye).
So, without the tilde, Spanish Speaking people all over the world would be
wishing each other a properous new anus (rectum) on January 1.
Thank God that we have the tilde!
