It may have not been a typo in the sense they hit the wrong key attempting to type an exclamation point, but a Freudian slip of their mind while typing that caused them to send the quotation mark.

Assuming a qwerty keyboard, this didn’t happen

On a German keyboard, I think ! Is Shift-1 and " is Shift-2, but we measure in cm so the message wouldnt make sense

6cm?

Exactly, noone is that big

UK keyboards have the " and the @ symbols reversed from the US layout.
And we mix and match our units of measurement. So
milk = liters.
Beer = pints.
Distance = miles (if driving).
Distance = km if running or cycling.
Distance = inches if penisJumi@lemmy.world 1 day ago
Why make it easy when it could be complicated…

Just wait until you find out we use miles per gallon for fuel consumption but sell fuel with litres.

It works out for Dvorak.

Eh? On my keyboard " and ! are next to each other.

Shift-1 is ! Shift-2 is "
That’s how it is on a standard British QWERTY keyboard.

I didn’t know that the gb layout was different, so thanks for the knowledge, but kindly sod off with the smartass remark, thanks love
FelixCress@lemmy.world 1 day ago
His remark was spot on. You are an arrogant US prat assuming everyone around is using the same keyboard layout as you do.

Imagine not knowing literally everything about everything. And I’m the arrogant one? Lmfao.

Depends on the layout. My QWERTZ has ! on shift-4 and " on shift-2.
Lots of bilingual peeps have multiple layouts on hot-swap.

I think I disagree, " is right next to the enter key?
wreckedcarzz@lemmy.world 2 days ago
But why would you be hitting enter when you haven’t hit ! yet? That would require you to skip !, to be typing at a high wpm but still be error prone, and for you to make three mistakes in a row and then for you to not immediately edit or delete and retype the message.
This takes low accuracy (so a typical hunt and peck user), high speed (so a usual touch typer), and a lack of technical knowledge, all rolled up with multiple failures. Nah, this didn’t happen.
