I didn't get into resume and coupe, as I think those aren't necessary for a travel guide, although there's no harm on adding coupe and coupé, as well as résumé and resume. <font face="BlinkMacSystemFont">[[User:SHB2000|SHB2000]] <small>([[User talk:SHB2000|talk]] <nowiki>|</nowiki> [[Special:Contributions/SHB2000|contribs]] <nowiki>|</nowiki> [[m:User:SHB2000|meta.wikimedia]])</small></font> 13:44, 25 September 2021 (UTC)
 
: For résumé and coupé we could perhaps state the rule in more general terms: "The same rule of thumb can be used for other words that more often omit the diacritical marks in American spelling, such as résumé/resume and coupé/coupe." For countries where French is common, I suppose locals would expect the accents, and there is no real reason for us to omit them (only the arbitrary preference for American spelling). –[[User:LPfi|LPfi]] ([[User talk:LPfi|talk]]) 14:20, 25 September 2021 (UTC)
