This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.

You need to in German because Umlaute are not accents but different characters.
They not only sound different, the words also mean different things.
schon is already
schön is pretty
There is the same issue in French that the lack of accent can change the meaning, so the French Academy does recommend putting accents on capitals. https://www.academie-francaise.fr/questions-de-langue#5_strong-em-accentuation-des-majuscules-em-strong

I guess that's what I get for learning French during the age of typewriters (my formal French education ended in 1981 and I've only spoken --never written-- it since then).
