The correct punctuation on the second “e” should be what is known as a “circumflex”, but I could not find out how to post that, it’s French

Useless French degree to the rescue!

naiveté

The second "e" has an accent aigu or acute accent. You can type it by turning on "Num Luck," holding down the "Alt" key and typing "0233" on the numeric keypad. My otherwise useless French degree knowledge is always available here at FR should you have any more French typographical questions.

Thank you very much.

Of course, “Num Luck” should be “Num Lock” (in case you’re still looking.) But, hey, what would you expect from a Liberal Arts major?

Why, thank you!

While I do not have a degree in French, I disovered that I could skate all the way through high school and college by substituting 2 credits of a foreign language for every 1 credit of math.

Did I choose a useful language? No, I chose French.

Skated all the way with nothing beyond Algebra I.

I do have both accounting and finance secondary degrees, neither of which employ much "math".
