I do appreciate (as most Italians) when people try to use Italian words. :) But most of my British and American friends really get on my nerves ;) when they want to teach me how to spell and/or pronounce an Italian word. Even my name! LOL! <br />Cheers!Kiahttp://www.italiancozycorner.benoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6758915940467026052.post-89236982521953669812011-03-17T15:03:08.876-04:002011-03-17T15:03:08.876-04:00I am such a freak about spelling things correctly,...I am such a freak about spelling things correctly, that doesn't mean that I do always, thank you spell check!

Technically it would have an accent over the a(voilà), but I'm not that picky. However, there are times when I wanted to use an accent and didn't know how to do it with our keyboard. Then I found this page, and you can just copy and paste the accented letter or symbol you want...cool!<br />http://www.starr.net/is/type/altnum.htmHollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11251615655963897793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6758915940467026052.post-41585360875642406832011-03-17T11:55:22.443-04:002011-03-17T11:55:22.443-04:00This one is so cute!
