Regardless, I do not believe I have ever met anyone who did not know what an accent mark is referred to as.

Me and Otto have macrons, and then there are dumbass squiggly things, the double dot in an i used for naive, and all other accents are irrelevant

What do you mean that you "have" macrons?
- Macrons are not accents, they are linguistic markings to denote how to pronounce something... per se, in a dictionary. - As far as I know we have been referencing Spanish, as I do recall it specifically implied elsewhere (or other romantic languages, such as Portuguese); thus, tildes do not go over the letter "u". - An umlaut, or "double dot", is rarely used in Spanish, again, assuming we are referencing Spanish. As far as I know, only two languages in the whole world use the umlaut: German and Hungarian. - Acute accents are used for "futbol".

We use macrons in Latin, but no other accents come up in Latin, or English for the most part, so they arent relevant to us, as we dont use them

Do you not just use macrons to study the poems and what not?

I've only used macrons in just basic pronunciation applications, but also have never studied Latin so there's that

Yes, I have never studied it either. What I was saying originally is that it is used when studying phonology, not for the written language itself.
