    I'm reminded of the case of an article on writing résumés in which the
    author emphasised the importance of not spelling the word "résumé" as
    "resume" or even (the quite widely attested) "resumé" so as to create
    the correct impression.

    The publishers "cleaned" each version of the word to the ASCII-friendly
    "resume".
