h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

You know a symbol that is topmostly common in our indiginous talking? My CPU can not transmit it to my monitor, as that particular button is malfunctioning. Do you know which symbol I talk of?
And would you concur how difficult it is to transmit information without using this important and highly common symbol? If you think I am making a mountain out of a small blind mammal's soil mound of a front door, you try it and find out!
I will hand a as a gift to you if you work this out in not as long a portion of quantum continuum as any guys who you ain't.
You might want to carry this fun mission onwards into this chain of talk!

I think that I may just know what you imply, as I also am afflict by this flaw in my wordboard. I shall say nothing so as not to spoil a good notion too soon.

hit any key to continue...

*looks very lost*

*hopes someone else will be along soon to show me how stupid Im being...*

All you must do is work out which is this symbol that Otto Fisch and I can not transmit from our wordboards to our monitors. This difficulty is down to a faulty button. This hardship is truly awkward, as it is such a common symbol. It is a factor of this disability that our posts sound slightly out of...no, hold on, that won't work...um...sound slightly odd. I think you will find it's not so difficult as you may at first think.
Otto, I think you do know what my handicap is, so catch;



Oh, and...congratulations!

I must go away from work now, so to find out what it is prior to tomorrow contact Otto.

I find it a bit hard to show that I concur with this difficulty without that symbol. But I am trying. Oh, the horror of a non-working wordboard.

Arrrggghhhh. Brain is not working also, or I might say additional words. Can't do my sig, as well.

My sympathy for your inability to obtain optimal capacity in your typing!

I do think I now know which button is malfunctioning. It is an affliction which can curtail communication or can cause much difficulty in transmitting your point across.

!@#$%^&*()_+"?><~`';/.,

...i think i know what it is too...

A man from the country with Paris as its capital did a long book with this lack. I think that it was difficult in his .... aaaaaa cannot go on. But I know a way out. If I hold down Alt I can hit a magic ASCII combination to display the awkward symbol that I cannot attain as normal. It's not 42 though.

Bellman, alas you hit that missing button in a word of your post.
I know, so did I!

A quick brown fox jumps on top of a lazy dog......

'Tis not difficult, for my wordboard also functions not as it should.
Missing the symbol it is. Junk it I should.

Noggin

Ohh cr*p.

Noggin

.... by gum this is difficult, isn't it? It can tax a brain until it squirms! Hard to spot what is missing too, at first. But... artificiality in which words you pick sort of starts to point it out to folks who can think that way, fairly soon. So try to stay with short posts, to maintain an air of oddity...

Sounds to me like the US Keyboard layout strikes again. Hold on while I dig out some info to correct it. As a stopgap for the moment you can access the " by holding the shift key and the ' (what would normally be an @).
