SANTA FE, N.M. 鈥� An accent mark on the official seal of the capital city of the nation's most Hispanic state is in the wrong spot.

The misplaced accent mark at the top of the city of Santa Fe, New Mexico's website was recently spotted by a reporter who uses an accent in his name, the Santa Fe New Mexican reports.

On the website, the seal uses the official's name of the city: La Villa Real de la Santa F茅 de San Francisco de As铆s, or Santa Fe for short.

But the seal on the city鈥檚 website puts the accent mark over the first 鈥渟鈥� in As铆s instead of over the 鈥渋.鈥�

Even Mayor Alan Webber, who is originally from St. Louis, knows the accent mark over the 鈥渟鈥� is no bueno.

鈥淚t is always over a vowel; it is never over a consonant,鈥� Webber said. 鈥淵es, I learned that from my Spanish teacher.鈥�

Santa Fe is one of the oldest continual settlements in the U.S. and has a long history with Hispanics.

This version has been corrected by removing a reference to the mayor erroneously calling the misplaced accent a tilde, as tilde in Spanish can refer to accents or other marks.
