Speaking of filename weirdness.. I changed my Mac's language to Spanish a few years ago, as I was learning the language, which has many bizarre effects, online and off. One is that the Library folder in my home folder appears in Finder as Librería, yet if I try to cd to Librería or Libreria in bash it doesn't work, as it's actually Library. Same for Documentos, Imágenes, Aplicaciones, Escritorio (Desktop), Usuarios, Sistema etc. I haven't looked into how that actually works. But there seems something very wrong about files appearing as not what they're called, which I assume the whole non-English-speaking world puts up with.
