They are also a pain to type. Where I live there are 2 keyboard layouts: Spanish and Latin. 99% of people don't know how to tell them apart which means that their hardware keyboard does not match the setting on the computer, so the label on the keyboard does not match with what is typed. There are also two accents in the keyboard: á, and à which are hard to distinguish one the key starts rubbing off.

All of this means that a lot of people don't even know how to type an accent, and a lot of us never remember when we should be typing them anyway

On top of that this (programming) language, doesn't even support them. Probably because they cause a lot of encoding issues

Btw, it's "difícil". With an accent

sí , claro, pero tengo dos excusas; estamos charlando nomás y soy extranjero.

Excusa bono : mis ojos son malissimos, asi es dificil a ver los acentos tambien.

Ninguna de las dos excusas es técnicamente valida por dos motivos:

que seas extranjero que habla español quiere decir que probablemente aprendiste el idioma de grande, osea que tenés las reglas del idioma en la memoria. Yo lo aprendí cuando tenia 7 años.
todos tienen el mismo problema con las teclas de tilde. Encima entre el teclado español y latinoamericano cambia su ubicación
