German has a word spelt as Resümee, but the meaning is not the same but rather conclusions or abstracts.Ĭueball then goes all in on the last e which, like the first e, is supposed to have an acute accent. Ü can be found in languages such as German and Turkish however, in French ü is not used in this way since the diacritic-less u already represents this sound. Ü typically represents the close front rounded vowel /y/, pronounced similar to the in "See" but with rounded lips. However, the third diacritic he uses is an umlaut on the u making it into ü, which is not part of the word. The second diacritic is the normal acute accent for the e in résumé, to make it an é which does belong in résumé. In English, this modifies a vowel to be "long". The first diacritic is a macron over the i in "find". Which reads (without the diacritics) as 'To invoke the hive mind representing chaos.' Randall may be poking fun at people who use Zalgo, a form of spam where people continuously spam diacritics in chat messages. When he occasionally remembers them, for instance when he types a word where he knows they should be included, like résumé, he then makes up for all those he must have forgotten since last time he thought of it, and thus adds a whole bunch at once. As Cueball/ Randall is a native English speaker, it is thus natural that he often forgets (or just doesn't bother) to add these diacritics, hence the title of the comic. This occurs to such an extent that words and expressions borrowed from other languages (such as "résumé" or "piñata") are frequently written in English with the diacritics omitted, as in "resume" or "pinata". While diacritics can be common in several languages, English is an example of a language that rarely ever has any at all. The word résumé uses two es with an acute accent so they look like this: é. The main use of diacritical marks in the latin script is to change the sound-values of the letters to which they are added, typically vowels.Ĭueball is writing an e-mail (maybe for a job application) and notes in the mail that he attaches his résumé, or curriculum vitae.
