Ok... I do admit my mistakes... But...
in reply to a message by Anon.
It's just that I find it illogical to give a name to the "~" sign... It's like giving a name to the difference between the "P" and the "D" or between the "R" or "B" and the "P" or between the "1", "L", "T" and the "I"... I can accept linguists use that term... Therefore admit it was not wrongly used... But I wont say it's a logical employment of terms. My intention was never against Justina... But against the understanding of "õ" as equivalent to "ó" and extrapolating this to "ñ"... I'm stubborn but no that much as not to admit this mistake and other mistakes... Sorry if anyone felt offended.
