AN IRRITATING FEATURE OF THE GERMAN KEYBOARD LAYOUT IS THAT IT USES CAPS-LOCK NOT ONLY FOR LETTERS BUT FOR EVERY SINGLE KEY: FOR INSTANCE; WHEREVER YOU SEE COLON IN THIS POST; IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A FULL-STOP: SEMI COLON IS ACTUALLY A CAPS-LOCKED COMMA: SO IT ALSO GOES WITH THE NUMBERS - FOR EXAMPLE ! IS FOR ONE; ” STANDS FOR TWO; § FOR THREE ETC:

SO FOR ME; IN GERMANY; CELEBRATING THIS DAY; THE “” OF OCTOBER IS A BIT MORE COMPLICATED THAN FOR ANY OF YOU USING AN ENGLISH KEYBOARD LAYOUT:

IF YOU ARE READING THIS; MAKE SURE ::: DAMN! DAMN! IT’S STUCK! I CANNOT SWITCH IT OFF!
