Something you may not have known about the English Language

From time to time, the English language uses an accent mark on the letter "E" to let the reader know to make the "ay" sound.
An example could be in "cliché" and "resumé". Now, before someone storms in a post that we're speaking French. You're half-right. These words are from French, but we English speakers took the word from French and added it into English, but kept the é to symbolize the "ay" sound. We're speaking English, not French. It's like saying Spanish speakers speak English when they say "no" (or vice versa), true the word is spelt the same in English, but their intention is to speak Spanish, not English.

Did you know that the word “yay” means “im coming” for males and “yaya” for females in my dialect

We say jay :p

This hurt my head but yay finally I knew sth b4 i read about it :)

Wow 'cuz I didn't already know this before. Sarcasm

É is called (in French) E accent aigu s in an accentuated E, it has a real close pronounciation to ay but slightly different,
You see the é is pronounced like AY but while pronouncing it don't say the Y part but pronounce the A as if you're going to pronounce the Y if you know what I mean, I'm bad at explaining it, I tried.
It's not the first time people use other languages' words for their own, in my country we use "merci" (thank you) most of the time instead of our actual "shokran"
