"Concerning accents and breathings, I don't teach them. :-D
Well, I do teach them eventually so people will
know what they're for, but I otherwise ignore them. They were, in my
opinion, never an integral part of the Greek language, they're actually
editorial decisions more than anything."

Thank you, Curtis, for saying publicly what I've been thinking privately.
For me a prime example in the GNT of where someone applying accents and
breathings would have to make an editorial decision is John 1:1.
