  could have happened on a french canadian qwerty keyboard: ! is shift-1, and " is shift-2

    German qwertz is the same in that regard

  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.

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

    I chuckled :p

  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 penis

    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.

  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 ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      His remark was spot on. You are an arrogant US prat assuming everyone around is using the same keyboard layout as you do.

      source

      • wreckedcarzz@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

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

    Literally the opposite of your shitty comment.

  Depends on the layout. My QWERTZ has ! on shift-4 and " on shift-2.

  Lots of bilingual peeps have multiple layouts on hot-swap.

  source
• FelixCress@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

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

  source
• jodanlime@midwest.social ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

  I think I disagree, " is right next to the enter key?

  source

  • wreckedcarzz@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ 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.
