In English, the [[grave accent]] indicates that a vowel that would usually be silent should be pronounced. Generally this is applied to a verb ending in "-ed," either to indicate an adjectival meaning (e.g. "aged" means "grew old," while "agèd" means "elderly") or to add a syllable for poetic effect. The [[Homestar Runner (body of work)\|Homestar Runner]] [[Characters\|characters]], however, use the alternative pronunciations arbitrarily.

The Cheat's attempt at -èd

Characters often replace -ed with '''-èd'''. In English, the [[grave accent]] indicates that a vowel that would usually be silent should be pronounced. Usually, this is a legitimate alternate pronunciation, but more often it is used to distinguish words with the same spelling but different meanings (such as "aged" for grow old or mature and "agèd" for the elderly), or to add a syllable to the word for poetic effect. However, the characters will usually use this different pronunciation at random times. For example, [http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/striped stripèd] is pronounced /straɪ-pɪd/, as compared to the more usual /straɪpt/.
