Why would Microsoft (I am assuming this is a
problem with Microsoft) use a default on the keyboard for Spanish lettering
rather than maintaining the status quo of the slash / question mark, apostrophe
/ quotation? This has occurred on my
keyboard since Windows 7 and with all the recent thunderstorms I have had to
shutdown daily for several weeks. Some
days it takes forever for the keyboard to listen to my “whispering” to default
back (and yes, I do know how to make it go back but some days it’s as though
the keyboard is stuck and cannot be sensitive enough to make the change).
I am pretty sure that the world still requires
a question mark more often than they need to convert to a Spanish E. I am also sure that this particular quirk is
not a money grab like so many other Microsoft “innovations”.
So in my retirement I am actually thinking that
I should switch to a Mac simply to avoid the pet peeve but then there is the
added bonus of learning a whole new system and isn’t that part of the
retirement deal. Keeping the brain
active (not aggravated) is the goal to a happy, long life.
Who knew it could be so easy to convert? Just a shift in mindset.
