Resume Spamming Redux

    damnit, english _is_ my first language, so how do I always manage to screw up my posts and leave words out?

    Very Shifmanesque, in my personal opinion.
    Oh, wait, you didn't mention any names, so I shouldn't have either.

    Just wondering about the technically proper grammar.
    As we don't use accents in English...

    Should an accent be used in Resume? If I remember my French classes... it's "Resumé" to indicate the sound of the last E.

    I mean, I could take it to be spanish.. in which case 2 accents would be, impossible.... as the accent only indicates the accented syllable.

    And where is the accent supposed to go, in french?
