"Beyoncé inflicts unspeakable horrors on Dolly Parton’s ‘Jolene’" The English Language DOES NOT use acute accents, and the fact that her mother was able to bear live offspring DOES NOT entitle her to rewrite the conventions of the language. Everyone should just call her "Bouncie" and let her whine about it.

The English Language DOES NOT use acute accents
English has few absolute rules with no exceptions, especially regarding diction. Post 12 was NOT a response to your comment, yet the poster unironically included the word touché, which is widely used by English speakers, as is paté, Resumé, Exposé, Attaché.
