17. Accents (and most other special characters) don't show up in subject lines. Touche.

Hyperactive autocorrect is probably changing "touche" to "touch." Even when you correct an unwanted autocorrect change, it can go back to autocorrect's version as you hit post.

I get around that by fixing the word to what I want, then going to the middle of the word so my tablet word suggestion list shows the word as I want it. Then I click the word as it shows on my table's suggestion list, then accept it when it is suggested that I add it to my dictionary. And then I hit post.

Notice that "touche" appears in my subject line (and in this sentence), but without the accent mark over the "e." DU's program doesn't allow accents in subject lines or posts.
