I hope you'll forgive me, but I'm not willing to take your word for it about "jalapeno" being incorrect. I've emailed the editors of the OED, so if they reply I'll summarise here. Nevertheless, it is undeniable that English loan-words from other languages often lose their accents. The obvious example being "cafe". The only point of dispute here is one of degree - my assertion that they can *all* lose *all* their accents.

I'm not sure what your point is supposed to be regarding mathematics, unless it was just stupid pedantry.
