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!"
