@sunflowerinrain@mastodon.online I am confident that the Times has a reason (other than colonialism) for supporting the diacritics necessary for English English (ahem), yet not for those necessary for Vietnamese.
But of course, that reason is bullshit.

@lkanies@hachyderm.io Ignorance or arrogance or both; in this case possibly a lingering nationalistic resentment, too. I don't know that the NYT does support English. Lots of USian-grown software doesn't support English naming conventions, for example, and one can't help wondering if a touch of Boston Tea Party is added to a belief that if there is any world outside USA it's only as real as Hollywood. (Not All USians, obviously)
