== Merge with Superior Letter ==

*caro was here![bananaaas.]

Typography websites[http://www.fonts.com/aboutfonts/articles/fyti/opentypepro.htm] and dictionaries[http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/superior] both indicate that ''superscript'' and ''superior letter'' are perfect synonyms, and these two articles have a lot of overlap. Since ''superscript'' is the more common appellation, I suggest to merge [[superior letter]] into this article. We would certainly replace the existing article with a redirect.

:I desagree. Al least in Spanish (I am from Spain), superscripts and superior letters are two distinct uses of this tipographic style. Superior letters (known in Spanish as "volauditasvoladitas", "little flying" letters as the [[Superior letter]]s article states) are always used for abbreviations, and are always underlined (where possible). Superscripts are used in Spanish to put inline calls and notes (like the famous wikipedia's {{Fact|date=February 2008}}), math powers, chemical isotopes and valences, etc, and never are underlined. So I vote to keep the separate articles. -[[User:Ricardo Cancho Niemietz|Ricardo Cancho Niemietz]] ([[User talk:Ricardo Cancho Niemietz|talk]]) 15:35, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
