Burning for Diacritics
aster Jan Hus was burned in 1415 for his doctrine by the Holy Inquisition. That sure was a tragedy. But one sin of his is unforgiveable. He developed advanced diacritics for the Czech language. Though this act was done in good will, he did not realize how much hassle he would bring to future generations - particularly those of the computer age. It may be too late to change it back, but not too late for a little post-mortem revenge. Those who have ever tried to convert a Czech document or implement language encoding will appreciate this.
