Not a mistake from me, sorry. From you yes: Peter Kirk probably wanted
to speak about *spacing* diacritics (when coded with SPACE+NSM).
There is no such *spacing* character in "Québec".
Don't accuse me of something I did not say. And be more tolerant please
with what is an obvious typo in the message from Peter Kirk. Instead of
just flaming, could you better read the message and accept errors and
correct them instead of sending such unconstructive replied.
Thanks.
