Diacritical marks are evil and must be destroyed.
In addition the period after initials is redundant and evil (and must be
destroyed).
The usage "Dr Smith, M.D." is silly and evil and must be destroyed.
The insistence by highbrows to spell "re-su-me" (your job history) with a
diacritical mark is excessively evil and not only must be destroyed but all
those who espouse this cause must be destroyed as well (and their families,
in-laws and pets, especially cats).
