Yeah, those keyboards are annoying. (Score:2)

In other news, it's very annoying learning the subtle differences of typing on a British keyboard.

Because double quotes were meant to be hard to type :-)

I lived in the UK for a few years and brought my UK PC back to New Zealand. The US layout in the norm here and I really should have just bought a new keyboard but I never got round to it. So for years my keyboard layout at home was different to the one at work.

The other annoyance was the right hand Alt key being reserved for entering accented characters. At least I was able to turn that off with keyboard mapping.
