HAVING irritatedly spent the last month or so laboriously copying umlauts äöü, ÄÖÜ and ess-zed, the weird blobberous ß thing, by sucking them in and out of my mouse, I have finally added German and French keyboards to my machine.
The weird German quotation marks that look like double commas I have yet to find. I believe even the Germans have given up on these.
Mz biggest problem now is that I am tzping in a strange foreign accent, as on German kezboards Y and Z swap places!
Which is resulting in biyarrelz Polishßflavoured tzpos all over the place.
Several common punctuation marks appear nowhere to be found. Central European characters with cuckooßclock vowels appear in their places. Even the opening bracket is where the closing one should be...
This is going to take quite some getting used to...
ßs are now everzwhere, because essßyed is where mz old hzphen used to be...
... and what on earth has happened to mz beloved "swung dash" Iäve absolutelz no idea...
And all I can saz now is "auf Wiedersehen!"

ReplyDeleteItäs dreadful, isnät it_
ReplyDeleteI CAN change it back to English, but something hard and determined wells up in me and refuses to give in on such pettz matters as f(((ing Ä appearing whenever I want an apostrophe!!
My typing is bad enough already!
ReplyDeleteYes, you did mention your friend - and it is such a dreadful waste and very sad.
I will post on it soon :-(

ReplyDeleteVince: dank je wel!
ReplyDeleteÄnnä G: öööh! Yöü näüghty little minx, yöü!
I find the standard english keyboard provides all the typos I need!
ReplyDeleteHi Gleds ~~ The different keyboards
ReplyDeleteare so different. Do you think the 2 commas together could be like our quotation marks as I don't see them elsewhere. The German one is more like ours, but with a few differences.
I hope you are keeping cool. and I am keeping warm. I went and had a look at Bainos Blog - looks good.
Look after yourself, my friend.
Regards, Merle.
Aze, but imagine z and y being in the wrong places and then a blinkinä ä appearing whenever zou need an apostrophe!
ReplyDelete)Not to mention the fact that the open bracket appears on kez 8 in place of the asterisk and the closed one on kez 9, where an open bracket is printed!!=
