I assume you mean "vowels."

At any rate, I would like to place an item on the universal wish list, 
if anyone has access:

I would like stress marks (as we are discussing today) to function like 
formatting (underline, etc.) so that the spell-checker doesn't see them. 
On the other hand, I would like diacriticals like the French acute 
accent to function like elements of distinct letters, so the 
spell-checker does see them. I know they look the same, but I wish we 
could manage them in these two different ways.

Off soapbox.
