The French Keyboard...


French Keyboard

'Les claviers Francais' - another very debateable subject about these uncomprehendible French people...Believe it or not, French keyboards are very different from the standard english keyboards. Although the same A-Z alphabet is used in these two languages, somehow the French have opted to switch around the A, Z, M, Q, W, and the semicolon button from the standard English keyboards. Why? Pourquoi!!!??? I do NOT know the answer to this question... (Anyone who does can send me an e-mail at : janggyuman@hotmail.com) but I know these keyboards are frustratingly difficult to work with, especially having the A and the Q switched around... Other facts include:

1. You need to hold 'Ctrl' to type in a 'period / . '
2. There is a key called ' Alt Gr ' which can be called 'Ctrl #2' in order to get the '@' , '#' and etc...on your screen.

3. However, the most frustrating bit is that you need to hold 'SHIFT' to enter numbers!!!

English / Korean Keyboard


And just to make you football fans a bit jealous...:



A Champions League Ticket for the OL vs. FCBarcelona match at Stade de Gerland... Tickets went on sale on the 18th of October through the internet ONLY, and there were none left after 24 hours. The tickets got my name on the bottom right... hahahahaha! 'KIM SANG KYU' Thats one hell of a sexy ticket.

Keyboards are actually set up worldwide based on how frequent certain letters are used in that language. There isn't even really a standard English keyboard - as far as I know, the American, Canadian & British keyboards all vary slightly. And so do the keyboards across Europe - they have to accomodate for accents, etc. Which is why you have to press shift on the French one - because they use the è,é,ç,à, and you can always just use the numberpad on the right if you don't want to press shift. The French also use semicolons a lot more than we do.

The one thing I do agree with you on though is why on Earth would they have make someone have to press shift to type a period - I mean, that has to be one of the most used keys on the keyboard!!

The truth is that Frenchies are so pompous they don't want to share other peoples' ways of doing!

But this is their problem, 'cause each time they go abroad they must struggle to find the right key to press...

I really have spent a lot of time wondering why make the period key so complex?
