Funny how the article goes out of its way to kneel to not using diacritical marks, taking up much column space explaining that they don’t have them, instead of just using apostrophes like everyone else does, and which they do have and could have used.

Does this score them higher in some sort of bizarre virtue signaling game?

An apostrophe cannot be substituted for a macron.

The name of the volcano is Haleakalā. Without the macron, it would mean "House of the Raspberry."
