Yes, that's what I'm talking about:
But, the Yerba Mate Association of the Americas states that it is always
incorrect to accent the second syllable, since this creates confusion with an
unrelated Spanish word for killing.[6] ("Maté" literally means "I killed" in
Spanish).
Also, someone else has fixed it on Wikipedia about a month ago.
Anyway, I'm not interested in playing the bikeshed argument. Name it as you
wish and stay focused on your good job.
