Beware with "Ñ"
We know in the that in English the letter Ñ , neither nor accent marks exist . For people who are learning Spanish, this it's can be hard, but you must to know the importance of their uses it.
This tiny difference can change completly completely change a word, and therefore the meaning of the whole sentence. I will show you:
For example the word "Año" means "Year" but without the letter "Ñ" means "Anus", yeah it's true and now let's see this mistake in a sentence.
Correct
Q: ¿ Cuantos años tienes ?
(¿How old are you?)
A: Tengo 26 años
(I'm 26 years old)
Incorrect
Q: ¿ Cuantos anos tienes ?
(¿How many anuses do you have?)
A: Que! ... solo uno ... ¿Por que? ¿Cuantos tienes tu?
٩(͡๏̯͡๏)۶ (What! ... just one ... ¿why? ¿ How many do you have?) lol
Another example using the accent marks, the word "papá" means "Father" but without accent mark means "Potato".
Correct
1: Mi papá tiene un masterado en ciencia.
(My father have a master degree in sciencie)
2: Genial, tu papá es muy inteligente.
(Great, your father is very intelligent.)
Incorrect
1: Mi papa tiene un masterado en ciencia.
(My potato have a master degree in sciencie science )
2: Estas loco, si tu tienes una papa con masterado yo tengo una hamburgueza con doctorado.
٩(●̮̮̃•̃)۶ (Are you crazy if you have a potato with master degree, I have a hamburguer with doctorate degree.) lol
Ok, I know you have a computer with keyboard on in English, and you don't have the letter "Ñ", neither nor accent marks. but always you you can always use the ascii commands.
Hold ALT down, and enter the number, remember if you have a notebook you need to use the number pad.
Commands
á = alt+160
é = alt+130
í = alt+161
ó = alt+162
ú = alt+163
ñ = alt+164
Ñ = alt+165
for example:
Música = M , alt+163 , s , i , c , a

¿ Exist a similar situation in English ? We need to know :-)
¡ Bien hecho y muchas gracias por la sugerencias !
Sí, es posible a confundir un cono en vez de un coño, pero el contexto ayudaria saber la diferencia. Normalmente, pego las letras .... ¿ ¡ á é í ó ú ü ñ en la entrada mientras escribo y copio y pego la letras donde lo necesito . Para mí es más rápido
