Please, it's Exposé, with an e acute (type Option-E, then e on an US keyboard, or use the character palette). Is it so difficult to understand there is more than 7 bits to a character? I'm tired of suffering of the limitations of software written by people who assume that "7-bit ASCII ought to be enough for anybody."

  Does it matter that Apple refer to it as Exposé? There is not a chance in the world that I will be calling it such a ridiculous name and as such: expose it is.

  if you look at the rendition of this title in the listing after the article, I think you'll understand why the author didn't try to include the acute - it renders as é.
  
  Maybe 7-bit ASCII isn't enough for most folks nowadays, but railing against the reality isn't going to do much - it's like complaining about the ubiquity of Windows.
  
  Personally, I think accents are useless. I speak English, French, and Spanish, and I see accents as vestigial, useless, and needlessly confusing. I say, let's ditch 7-bit ASCII *and* useless accented characters

  I agree with you, but we're not there technologically or worse yet educationally. Most people think accents are terribly difficult (I still flub them and I write in Spanish and French) ... ahhh if ASCII was the only problem.
