No-no, you're mistaken. The French agree with me, even
if they don't go all the way and add length, and
except for when they contradict me, the French are
always right! (I'm sure a compromise could be reacht
where you use a small U atop the A... though
English-speakers have a remarkable affinity for
ignoring any and all diacritics.)
