>After seeing the MS page (that Carlos graciously pointed out on this thread), I thought it was a nice issue to blog about as it might help some other people. It takes a little getting used to as you now need to press a space after a double quote if you
want a double quote before a vowel (as in "a little red car"). I'm so used to it that I don't even notice it anymore and it trips me every time I use somebody else's PC.

I remember now that for a long time I have had this, what I thought to be a problem with my keyboard/computer, having to press space after a double quote.
This thread cleared a lot of things for me; on how to type (much easier than ALT-####) accented letters and the issue with the double quote. Now, if I only it could help me write better <g>.
