I actually can't find the accento on my keyboard so that's why I don't type it out. It makes it annoying when I have Italian homework and I have to copy paste all my accentos from this list my instructor gave me. I've also tried to put in a special key command for it, and it just didn't work. This list I put up is also something I put up a long time ago when I was just starting out in Italian, and you're right about the grammar and spelling issues. I know I've improved from back then, but you're correct that there are a lot of rules in Italian that I need to remember and get used to (I have never appreciated the lack of words with gender in English until I started Italian!).

I'll stop the Italian for now, at least until I get better in the language. That might take ages, but I'd rather not alienate fluent/native Italian speakers. Thanks once again for mentioning this to me, it really helps me out.
