i can already tell you that
                diacritical distinctions
   does exist in the english
language...
(olde english) albiet /
     (modern english)
   although
                    it's well hidden,
for starters
    there is a good example
of an acute u (ú) popping it's
"ugly" head from the edenic
                    camoflouge:
  e.g.? pút...
                 otherwise known
as the double omicron
         in pool -
              varied within púll...
oh **** me, invoking the germanic
ß (grapheme) was always going
to attract attention...
    given anglo-saxons are cousins
with bavarians, swabians
       or pomeranians -
     if ever a prussian print would
exist,
     we'd find that
     they're the fourth
leg of a dog that queer
         in linguistic
terms... the other three oddities?
  finns, estonians
     and the ***(garian)s...
i'm still at odds of discovering
all the particular diacritical
examples (distinctions) in english,
since no example of such
  an instance being apparent,
unravels itself into a universally
     consistent expression...
       try applying diacritical marks
to each and every english word...
       even j. joyce didn't mention
this "adventure" in his
             undeservedly omitted work
  finnegans wake...
                  but it is an adventure
nonetheless...
                  for there are instances in
english, when applying diacritical
marks is, frankly? all-too blatant:
your eyes start twitching,
your fingers start itching,
             your tongue has a crap
dangling off it, implying: walk side-ways
for once, off the beaten track of
   pop trend.
