That really depends on what keyboard you use. The Norwegian one is
different. I don't know where it would be on a British keyboard, and
I'm not sure what kinda keyboard someone from Australia (au?) would
have.




We use yankee keyboards here:-)


I don't know the differences between US and UK keyboards, but we've been using dollar-based decimal currency since Feb 66, so we use the same currency symbols as North Americans.



And our native language is English*, so no funny accents to bother with.


* I've heard from reliable sources that certain Australians were in Atlanta for the games, and used a few cabs. In the course of conversation, one asked a cabbie whether he'd be in Sydney for our games. The cabbie said, no, he didn't think he would be understand the language.


Our Aussies had a bit of that: took them a while to figure out what the booees were:-)
