Accentuation that implies, either the placement of the orthographic accent on the corresponding vowel or the enhancement of a syllable that leads us to pronounce it with greater emphasis in relation to the rest of those that accompany it, constitutes one of the most important actions that has been within the orbit of grammar and as such is extremely important for the satisfactory use of the language in question. We call the first situation a tonal accent while the other accent.
Respect for the rules that systematize the accentuation of words will help us not only to have a correct writing but also to be understood in a compliant way both when we speak and when we write. Because when, for example, an accent is not well located, the meaning of a phrase or a word may change completely, or failing that, it will make it difficult for the interlocutor to understand.
Because when the accents or accents are well placed, the text will not present ambiguity and can be understood without difficulties.
Unfortunately, in recent years, instead of showing improvements in this aspect of grammar, there have been many setbacks and although we do not want to blame only the development of new technologies and the new communication modalities that you are imposed, without a doubt , have contributed to the incorrect simplification of some spelling rules, including accents.
If we start to review communications via email, social networks, text messages or chat, we will find that there is practically no use of the accent. In this sense, it is argued that the speed with which this type of communication moves makes people ignore some basic rules.
But of course, we cannot accept it in any way as mitigating, because beyond all, not placing the accent where it corresponds constitutes a spelling mistake.
On the other hand, the lack of correct spelling practice in school and the lack of reading can be the other causes of errors in spelling.
The complications that usually derive from this incorrect use of the accent, for example, is that a word that was not placed with the corresponding accent can be given another meaning than it actually has. For example: Juan rose to fame with his debut is not correct since the accent is missing in the o: he jumped.
