Answer 2

más - with an accent

It means much more.

• that accent is no longer necessary unless it avoids confusion with mas, but personally, I prefer to use it. It's like ésta, the only time that the accent is required is to avoid confusion. "new" rule from when I was in school. - 0074b507 Jun 4, 2010
• I read about "ésta," but I didn't know that about "mas!" - --Mariana-- Jun 4, 2010
• This is not the same scenario as in "ésta" vs. "esta". "Más" and "mas" have totally different meanings and the accent mark makes them as totally different words. That´s why accentuation is so important in Spanish. Accent marks are never optional. - tamalmalamar Jun 4, 2010

With your web-searching skills, you should be able to provide at least one citation to back-up this assertion. Having been surprised by your assertion, I checked what the D R A E had to say and found two entries (one with and one without) the tilde. Neither made any reference to the other nor offered any suggestion that there had been changes to the standard/recommended orthographies.

• this is an accent, not a tilde - sfrenchie Jun 4, 2010
