“I guess it depends. Is it Spanish or Portuguese?”

What's the difference between a Boomer and an elder GenXer like me? I mean, I admit it, sometimes it's hard to tell.

Usually neither one of us can be arsed to switch to a foreign keyboard when we need a letter with a diacritic, if we even know how. However:

The boomer will just type a similar letter without the diacritic, because fuck y'all. Happy new asshole, Jose!

On the other hand, GenX knows how to Google "jose" and copypasta "José".

Feliz año nuevo!

Libby audiobook app friction:

Searching for author "Uche Blackstock" returns zero results, but searching with É or é (e-acute) results in a hit.

Submitted a request for help to see if they can update the app to treat them as equivalent for search purposes.
