Can't remember his name, though
Rossi has had quite a few famous rivalries over the years.

There is one notable rival of his on the list, although it depends what you define as Rossi's peak.
Okay, I looked it up because it was annoying me

Are the initials C.S?
Nope Stoner has 2 titles

It was for export to South American countries. Apparently their gun laws were all different and sometimrs changing. So it was down to the local seller to decide where to separate the barrel.

Yes, the three common ones are also called accents (accute, grave and circumflex) but diactirics refer to all the various other ones as well.

We have these vowels in the Hungarian alphabet:

á, é, í, ó, ö, ő, ú, ü, ű
