Well the hungarian keyboard is 105 keys vs standard 102. But I can write Ðð and £ ³ with it too. And this one €. Not that we will have it before 2010.[&:]

Yeah, a Danish keyboard is 105 keys as well. We've only got the three extra letters æ, ø and å, each with their own keys.

Try grading some of my students' blue book finals. English never looked more Chinese.ORIGINAL: Feinder
It's too bad English doesn't have an cool letters. Like that double s thing, that looks like a "B" or that o with a slash thru it, or umlauts (or whatever you call them).
I have alphabet envy.

You guys are making my eyes hurt.

Heh... Since they're now letting kids out of school (high and otherwise) without actually teaching them anything in the spelling, punctuation and grammar department, that rot is spreading. I've seen some horrific things with people in my business school...[8|]

And one says we should not be scarecrowing about the collapse of our civilization. If literature (ie the ability to read and write) is out dated we can say goodbye to a lot of things.

In another age, when preparing my BA Thesis on the 18th century Danish East-India Company, I read some of the logbooks of the Chinamen held at the Royal Danish National Archives.
One particular ship, the Charlotte Amalie, bound for Canton via Batavia, the Sumatra- and Indochina coast in 1781, went through four captains during its journey due to disease. Each captain had his own, idiosyncratic way of spelling. In Denmark at any rate, the idea of spelling in the modern, absolutist sense is a late 19th century one, intimately tied to the modern, centralised, one-size-fits-all state (as opposed to the essentially medieval, centrifugal society). In the case of Denmark, and most other state I would guess, the dialect spoken in and around the capital formed the basis the "correct" written language, at the expense of, fx, that spoken by myself and (I presume) Mr. T.
Spelling is a construct, if there ever was one.
The Charlotte Amalie incidentally was sold to the Navy in 1800 and subsequently used as a blockship in the defence of Copenhagen. Captured and burned, courtesy of the (British) Royal Navy, in the Battle of Copenhagen the following year. I'm sure Speedy's to blame somehow...
Where's the Any key?

I have been trying to pound sense into the heads of Californicators for the past 16 years.ORIGINAL: itsjustme
Pasternakski,
Where do you teach? Its been a while since I used my last blue book, but I practice in Dallas.
I insist that final exams be handwritten. The university backs me on this. So, I'm an overbearing, 18th century throwback pr1ck. What else is new?
I am retiring after this summer session (at least from this position). Many will celebrate.
Put my faith in the people
And the people let me down.
So, I turned the other way,
And I carry on anyhow.
