Thank you for your kind remark, however, those weren't my news. I thought that also in English the term _tilde_ is used to denote both sign for accents and sign for the swung dash over the "ñ". At least it's included that way in the Oxford Superlex Dictionary 1.1 (B316). Please, would be anybody so kind as to corroborate this matter? Thank you in advance.
