Furthermore, in Spanish nowadays you can't expect correct orthography, even on supposedly educated environments. Also, involuntary typos involving accents are common. I like the feature very much, but I'm neutral wrt its default value. If you ask me, as a programmer, I would say no, but as an Spaniard that occasionally uses Emacs to write Spanish text, I'll say yes. BTW, searching for `n' also matches `ñ', which is definitely wrong. Those are not equivalent characters by any stretch.
