Deleting the "ñ" from Spanish?
A professional translator told me that the "ñ" was going to be deleted from the Spanish launguage - Anybody know about this?

Deleted by whom?? Is the army going to drop bombs or something? The RAE has no intention whatsoever of doing so, and the new dictionary they are releasing in 2014 will have the Ñ in it. Your friend made it up... or has can foresee the distant future, but it is going to be hard to delete a letter that is part of the name of our own language, and in my case, my own country.
Besides, in order to delete the letter, an orthographic alternative is required; otherwise, "cono" and "co*o" would look the same, for example.
Not to worry. The only people deleting the Ñ are texting morons.
Deleting the "ñ" from Spanish? Sounds like a Monty Python sketch. Only they would have probably resolved the matter by deleting everything else in the language and leaving only "ñ"!
And then the scene - a pitoresque Spanish village, where people in the street say "ñ" instead of hola in the streets, two lovers sitting beneath an olive tree, saying sweet "ñ"'s to each other, the stereotypical revolutionary holding a flag and shouting "ñ", and finally a choir of vikings breaks into song -
ñ ñññññ...ññññ.....ññññ.....ñ.ññññ.ñññññññ.......ñ....ñññññññ...Ñ-ÑÑÑÑ!!!!

I think I heard this on Fox News Channel once.
