I'm Spanish, n and ñ are different letters. They are not substitutes. It is the difference between someone being 5 years old and someone having 5 anuses.
"Yo tengo 5 años / yo tengo 5 anos"
Looking at you, Will Shortz
I am guilty of doing that but only because my computer keyboard doesn't have an ñ.
On windows, hold 'alt' and then type the numbers 1 6 4 for lower case and 1 6 5 for upper case ñ.
That's their places in the ASCII table, you can do that with any special characters, look up their place in the ASCII table, press alt and the respecting number, release alt and voila.
SO many people don't know the ALT+Number combo nowadays it's surprising. I learnt about it in 4th grade in elementary school in 1999.
