[quote author=DoubleMeatWhopper link=board=health;num=1056172778;start=0#18 date=06/30/03 at 13:14:16] There used to be an ad campaign for Parker Brothers pens that made that goof. It showed a woman writing with a pen that leaked and made a mess of the letter she was writing. The caption read,"No esté ¥mbarazada; use una bolí§²afo Parker Brothers." This ad was pulled when it was pointed out that it was badly translated and meant, "Don't be pregnant; use a Parker Brothers pen."[/quote]
Oh, there's a way you can get diacritics in ASCII boards. The following I know are used:
~ tilde
^ hacek, circumflex
, cedilla, ogonek
' acute
` grave
: umlaut
I'll try to get a FAQ for you; these are generally used on usenet, which is fixed-width unlike this forum.
