Kurk Knight No, it is not. A tittle is a distinguishing mark, purely visual to help distinguishing a letter that may otherwise blend in with other letters. Typically seen as the dot over the i. If there is a diacritic, the tittle is simply dropped, because it is unimportant. In this case, we're seeing a diacritic (the acute accent, to be specific) - a pun on the typical "Starbucks French" pronunciation of the "Grande" size (which is just Large with a fancy name to make it sound hip).Kurk Knight No, it is not.

Kurk Knight Tittles and tildes are different things. Anyway, Wikipedia has excellent articles on tittles versus diacritics, so I won't spend my time repeating typology trivia here. The most important distiction - tittles do not change the pronunciation, while diacritics typically do. If the mark seen in this drawing did not change the pronunciation, the pun would disappear.Kurk Knight Tittles and tildes are different things.

Kurk Knight Ok, I was slightly inaccurate in terminology. In your first comment you appeared to me to protest that it was *not* an acute, but a tittle. It's an acute.Kurk Knight Ok, I was slightly inaccurate in terminology. In your first comment you appeared to me to protest that it was *not* an acute, but a tittle. It's an acute.
