Its not used in English, why would we want it cluttering up our keyboard?

Well it's not used in any of the Nordic languages but héré ýóú gó. It's used in Sámi :doh:

e: Also, there are loads of words in an English dictionary that do use ´. Are you saying English dictionaries are full of words that aren't actually English, hmm?

(The answer is yes, of course.)

Seriouspost: Your keyboard doesn't have an ´-key? I used to know the ALT-n codes for a lot of characters but nowadays a lot of computre (i.e. laptops) don't have a numpad. Or does it work with regular number keys nowadays?

Now that I've looked it up and tried different methods, it seems because I'm on a laptop without numpad my original method actually was the best. Unless I switch to US International.

Also I tried one code and it locked my laptop? It's like I almost did a classic Alt+F4 prank on myself.

Boringly, it's diareo, however the Malay word is apparently cirit-birit (remember kids, Malay "c" is a "ch" sound). My wife's asleep so can't confirm that's accurate.

It's used a lot in Icelandic.

Getting banned for that is crazy and shows how much the Internet has changed since 2007, nowadays not using proper capitalization and punctuation signifies ironic detachment.

For a lot of folks it's just how they type in literally all walks of life. Saw a goon the other day talking with complete sincerity about how he never uses his shift key, even for work communications. This was after posting a huge, multi-paragraph post that was noticeably harder to read because periods got lost in the sea of lower case.

It's hard to understate how much you had to be pretty ironfisted to get people to actually use the shift key and not unironically use l33tsp33k back in the day, or various other gimmicks that lose their novelty after half a second and continue to be run into the ground.

And you're also incredibly lucky if people use paragraph breaks.
