God help the poor SOB. He has my sincerest condolences. I only ever did that trip once, and that was too much. He wins the Butch stakes hands down.

there is never a tilde over an 'n'

'ñ' is a completely different letter
For other anoraks, the word tilde can refer to any diacritic in Spanish; for example, the acute accent in José is also called a tilde in Spanish.

exaccerly


what we might call the 'acute' is what the spanish call a 'tilde'


but they don't think of the squiggle on the 'ñ' as a tilde at all................

I see one person has had/will have their house demolished by the authorities.

It would be interesting to know what happened if he/she feels up to telling the story.

That is really sad, I bet they thought everything was ok as well.
