Can somebody verify this is the only or preferred spelling for the English senses? There is probably also a Saint with this name to be added to the Spanish entry as well as any of the English senses if they can be found to be used also in Spanish. — Hippietrail 01:51, 29 May 2006 (UTC)

You mean, like the San Jose Mercury News, never using the accent? The San Jose "City" web page seems to have recently added the accent - their main logo (on the right) does not use the accented form. --Connél MacKénzié T C 04:33, 29 May 2006 (UTC)

The Wikipedia says in w:San Jose, California: "On April 3, 1979, the city council adopted San José as the spelling of the city name on the city seal and official stationery; however, the name is still more commonly spelled without the diacritical mark. The official name of the city is The City of San José." The residents use both written forms and pronounce it with variety of spanglish pronunciations, all starting with the "H" sound.
