AH. I wasn't even thinking dirty. Fail for me, ha ha ha.

I used to be like that! I loved having diacritics everywhere. My alphabet literally consisted of 55 letters once, with the use of acute accents, diaeresis, ligatures (æ and œ), tails on the a, e, i, and u, and god knows what. Eventually though, one looks and notices languages don't just plaster letters together. I dunno. I feel like writing "Sceghað" looks more... defined than a "šejaþ", y'know?
