[edit] Roles

The word "roles" is an English word, it has no diacritical marks. Since this is the English page, not the French page, we should stick to English words. Wjhonson 22:54, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

I reverted you because it's Lame™ to change words because your views on what is and isn't English differ from the other editors' (e.g. it would be very silly of my to correct the spelling of George W. Bush, even if it does say "color"). I'm not going to keep worrying about this, because for me to revert war over something like this would be even more Lame™ than your original changes. Since I try (and don't always succeed ;-)) not to be lame, I won't change the article back to the original spelling. Your position that "there are 26 letters in the English language, and no diacritics" is a very surprising one, however. You can spell "rôle" as you please, but to say it's incorrect is fatuous (I know I did a similar thing with color/colour a couple of sentences ago, but that was a Joke). "Résumé" is English; "café" is English. Diacritical marks which are common in writing English are a part of the language, and I for one don't intend to stop writing my native language the way I write it because someone has Ideas about keeping funny foreign characters away. fuddlemark (befuddle me!) 15:16, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

And you can check for yourself, "resume", "roles" and "cafe" are also English words. Simple is better. Wjhonson 17:32, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

Perhaps simplicity is better, but complexity is not incorrectness, and to refer to it as such is uncalled for.--SB | T 17:39, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
