The word is ‘voilà” not “wallah”.

You are correct, looked it up and found this:

"Voilà (not spelled wallah or vwala or walla) is a good example of a borrowed word. Though French for “there it is,” Americans often use it as a simple utterance, akin to presto or ta-da."

Oh well, will continue to spell it wallah, don't know how to put that accent thingy over the a?

I don’t see the “accent” option on my iPhone keyboard either.

On a standard desktop keyboard, you hold down the alt key and type 133 on the numeric keyboard. Release the alt key after the last 3 and the à will magically appear.

I have a very talented cat I can send you. She can change anything on a keyboard. I’m sure she can help.

Voila`... well I have the symbol on my computer, but it doesn’t come out quite right lol.

So.. I’m sticking with violets!
