El “solo/sólo” no muere

Question

Yo sé que no hay que usar la tilde a menos que sea caso de ambigüedad, según la RAE. Yo leí todos mensajes empezando con 2009.

Sin embargo, me queda una pregunta: ¿es incorrecto usar la tilde aunque no sea requerida por la RAE?

Answer 1

Perhaps this can help...

sólo vs solo

Thank you for the link. :) - rac1, Sep 26, 2017

Answer 2

Bigote, the idea is to be consistent with the pronunciation rules in Spanish.

Palabras llanas with only two syllables don't have an accent unless they have a specific ending . So why should solo? it is not reasonable. That's the reason why the tilde was eliminated.

Because I've been writing it that way for more than 40 years. There is a difference in meaning. Is the RAE going to recommend dropping the accent from "dé"? It would save ink. - DonBigoteDeLaLancha, Sep 26, 2017

Answer 3

Hello!

These four links from this site was discussed before.

• solo v. sólo
• Solo with and solo without tilde
• sólo vs. solo
• Tonight's Big Fight: sólo vs. solo

Almost 2 months ago, I'm not sure if you still remember replying to the thread created by Sassette.

Hope this helps.

Regards!

Thanks for the links. - rac1, Sep 26, 2017
