Great, now everybody will laugh when you try to name a variable “year”.

I spent way too long trying to work out if there was an accented Spanish word "yéar" or something that was funny...

For those who don't speak Spanish, año is "year", and without the accent on the "ñ", it's a body part that you can probably guess :)

that's why I type it `anho` when speaking with latino friends i don't have the n on my english keyboard

You're using the Portuguese transliteration of the eñe. And if you were doing it with an Italian or French transliteration, you could write "agno."

(That said, it's one that's so common it's worth learning the keyboard shortcut for. On a Mac it's "opt-n, n".)

        setxkbmap us -variant intl -option compose:rwin]

Press altgr or right win key + [aeiou] or n.
