No, you didn't "offend" anyone, but you changed your tune. Not a biggie. But "diacritic mark" is WRONG. It's like saying, "Bill Gates lives in a mansion house."

Well, except if you're being all anal and grammar-proper and all that, then it *is* diacritical mark or diacritic. Diacritic mark is grammatically incorrect. Accent or accent mark works for me.

Hi, I lost the battle but what are your thoughts? In our tech docs we are using the term "diacritic mark." I argue that we should say "accent mark" because more people know what that is.
