Description
A new state bill could change the way we spell and say certain non-English names.
If passed, California Assembly Bill 77 would allow the use of diacritical marks, such as accents, on government-issued documents.
“I think it’s a great idea; that way, our nationalities are correctly the way they should be," said San Diegan Gabriela Sánchez.
More than 15 million Latinos in California and others with non-English names could soon be able to spell their names as they were intended.
