Why changed the name 'Forums' to 'Answers'?

This is not an important question, but you may consider it for the next release of site upgrade.
"Answers" have been puzzling me. Would Q&A be better for this main menu selection? Answers without question does not make sense. (Perhaps only to me.)
An other unrelated thing. (I do not want to start a new thread for a little thing.)
The block on the bottom with half of the accented characters is nice, but how can I capitalize them? Personally, I am quite handy with the Alt ### system, so to me it is "macht nicht". (The old GI (US Army) is coming out of me, I wish I could have stationed in a Spanish speaking country.)
An other other thing, could this section be a separate forum not loaded to the main Answers section? I don't think the questions here have anything to do with Spanish, just our (beloved) web site.
Dog gone it, I should have started three different threads.

With the accented characters, I guess we'll have to live with alt codes for capitalization for now, although I agree that putting those down below is an excellent idea.

With the issue about separate forum, etc., I suppose the best thing to do is to use the categories tab on the main answers page.

On the issue of changing 'Forums' to 'Answers,' I can see this making sense to me. The point with the current layout isn't set up to have general discussions. It's set up for one person to have a question, and for many or one to answer it. I think it was named Answers as opposed to Q&A because A) To me, Answers is more aesthetically pleasing, a bit more 'modern,' and B) because Answers can encompass both sides of the coin. Need answers? Go to the Answers section. Want to answer some questions? Go to the Answers section. Again, however, this could just be me.
