Amusez-vous!

I learned something new today and thought I would share - how to insert letters with french accents on my Windows computer.  I was so excited!

In my last post, you will find this paragraph:
I saw this Geico commercial the other day and realized how relevant it is to me as a business owner. One could take away how successful Geico's commercials tend to be as a marketing tool, but that is not why this commercial is à propos
As marked in red, I inserted à propos. Technically, if using this in English I should just spell it apropos (no accent and no space).  But since I also speak French, I prefer to use the French spelling. Before learning the trick below, I would have copied and pasted the accent into my text.  That would have taken me probably a minute or two. This takes about 1 or 2 seconds.

Find the trick here. Amusez-vous!
