Clearly Bon Appétit loves its accent marks. One need only look to the gusto with which the college's caterer abandoned its old digs and unaccented moniker (Kagin), for the irresistibly Francophone Café Mac just one year ago. But enough is enough. The Bon has taken to peppering the campus with accent marks, and one must draw the line somewhere.

The last straw is the Grillé. Does Bon Appétit really want us to pronounce it GREE-LAY?

The E at the end is pretentious enough, but please let’s do away with the accent mark.

We’re a college; it looks bad.

It’s like getting our Latin plurals wrong. So remember: It’s syllabi, not syllabuses, and it’s grill, not grillé.

Perhaps Bon Appétit should be more generous with its chicken strips, and more sparing with its accent marks.
