Thanks, good to learn the difference. Graves are a pain on UK keyboards though, I propose they switch!

There are complicated reasons why that's unlikely to happen, which go back to why some people still use both grave and acute accents Scottish Gaelic (vowel quality, essentially) and why standardising on the grave accent was a more natural choice for SG.

It's not a huge deal so long as you use an appropriate keyboard map.
