Letters with accents

The only other language i come close to knowing anything about is Russian. Last time i checked, when a Russian word or name is used in English, it is properly transliterated.

But what's with letting French words in full accent paraphernalia facadening as English words? Last time i checked (first grade or so), none of the letters being taught in school had anything dangling off of them. Furthermore, the only accent marks were the ones used in the dictionary to indicate which syllable takes the accent.

Is this French that we're speaking, or should i expect Hebrew and Cyrillic to start appearing in our dictionaries too?
