- Accents - Nothing so heavy as to be indistinguishable from gibberish, unless it's a language not yet in the translators.
- Bolding - At your own risk.
- Hands - Use paws, claws, or whatever is appropriate to the species over hands. Or if writing an anup, don't mention them at all, pervert.
- Exceptions - Words like handed, handling, handsome, handedly, etc. If it's a handy verb or adjective, probably doesn't need adjusting.

- Underline - At your own risk.
