Matté: In English the acute é indicates the pronunciation is not the same as the much more common English word "Matte", by analogy with words of French origin such as "Café" and other words whose acute é distinguishes their pronunciation from otherwise identically spelled English words, such as résumé and resume. Linguistic prescriptive's regard this usage as erroneous, a case of hyper correction. Purely descriptive linguists regard this sort of usage as a natural evolution of the language.
