@squirrel Not if you want to communicate broadly, it isn't.
Intermediary pidgen is (virtually?) always simplified. Language exiists _between_, not _within_.
@dredmorbius @squirrel is "communicate broadly" a fancy way of saying "speak english"?
Because there's plenty of people with whom one can communicate in languages where á is significantly different from a.
@dredmorbius @zatnosk @squirrel so you want to prevent people from using languages other than english because it might mildly inconvenience someone developing a system
Not to mention the fact that the characters you're complaining about ARE ALSO USED IN ENGLISH
@squirrel @zatnosk @dredmorbius maybe you should take a break and go to a café and think about what you just said
Maybe have an éclair while you're there, you should find it on the à la carte menu
@dredmorbius @zatnosk @squirrel possibly some gâteau instead
Either way, bon appétit
