I'm reminded of "The Horror of Party Beach", a black-and-white b-movie that was on Mystery Science Theater 3000. A creature from the Black Lagoon style monster is defeated with sodium.

Portuguese uses:

Tilde Accent = ~ (til)
Grave Accent = / (Grave)
Acute Accent = \ (Aguda)
Circumflex = ^ (Circumflesso)


My computer sucks though, so I can't make accents.


It'd be like this in Brazilian Portuguese:

~ tilde accent (til)
´ acute accent (acento agudo)
` grave accent (crase)
^ circumflex accent (acento circumflexo)

and another curious thing is that, not only do we use "qu" to represent "k" in front of "e" but when we want to represent "qu+e" as "kue" we use diaeresis "¨" (which we call trema). so "que" would sound like "keh" and "qüe" would sound like "kueh".

Brasileiros! Eu ti amo o Brasil BIG MUCH! Carnaval rocks. lol now that thats out of the way.

Only because theres no K in Romance Languages.  Mas em Italiano eles falam "Qu" a "Kw", mas nos nao falamos nessa maneira.  

Literal Translation: Only because theres no K in Romance Languages.  But in Italian they use "Qu" as "Kw", but in portuguese we dont pronounce it like that.

Isn't it funny that two of the worlds most spoken languages, Chinese and Hindi aren't up there?
