Starting Oct. 21, EL PAIS, Spain’s most-widely circulated paper, is getting rid of its diphthong (bet you didn’t know this word!) and reclaiming its rightful accent over the “i” so that it will now read EL PAÍS (as opposed to EL PAIS.)
An upcoming redesign will incorporate spelling norms dictated by the Real Academia de la Lengua Española, which in 1999 declared capital letters should be spelled with an accent. Finally! said proponents of the accent.
La renovación que EL PAÍS emprenderá el próximo día 21 no sólo afectará al diseño de sus páginas y a la manera de contar las noticias. Los cambios afectarán incluso a la cabecera. La marca EL PAÍS se escribirá con tilde para que su grafía no entre en contradicción con las normas ortográficas que se aplican en el resto del periódico.

This is stupid. When you write in CAPS, you don’t have to use accents. It’s optional.
In fact, why didn’t EL PAIS have the accent since it’s very begining? Liberals, always changing everything. Next thing you know they’re gonna be banning toilet paper.
Hey Jorge, read about spelling rules (Manual de ortografía de la Real Academia Española), and read above. It is not optional. It’s clearly stated in the blog.
