Is there a protocol for using the e' on the forum? It seems inconsistent unless there is a rule I'm not aware of

It seems to be applied in some threads/titles/plurals but not others, I didn't know if there is gramatical /language convention or just oversight/cock up.

Are you referring to e' or é perhaps?

The latter, if you look at the marketplace for example one thread has it the next doesn't and so on

Ok, think I'm with you now!

In every-day English use occasionally the e 'acute' in 'coupé' drops off (like 'orse laugh ), but as the word is actually, as far as I know, French it 'proper' carries an é smile

Fiat has used this name which is somewhat paradoxical as the majority of accents (perhaps all?) In Italian are 'grave'; i.e. è...

"La tua macchina è bellissima" etc smile

However a coupé seems to be 'coupé' in any part of the world...


In short, apologies for the inconsistencies, if I'm not getting out more I might even look into it!
