An absolutely trivial and rather OT question-- when handwriting Spanish (or
French too for that matter), does one usually write the acento agudo from
bottom to top (up-stroke), or from top to bottom (down-stroke)?? (I suspect
the Fr. grave is always a down-stroke, otherwise you'd be pushing the pen
against the grain of the paper [unless you're a leftie?]).  n-tilde, of
course, is often just a straight line over the n.
