New, and stuff

[pocaracas]

¿I'm not breaking any rule by "derailing" my own introduction thread, right?

I find it cute how the written spanish languages always start a question with the inverted question mark...
You don't need to do that when writing in english, tough...
Most of us don't even have that symbol in our keyboards.
Then again, I have some nice symbols most people don't have on theirs: ª º ç Ç.
The circumflex ^ with letters: â ê î ô û (all except the â and ê are very uncommon in portuguese)
The acute ´ á é í ó ú (opens all vowels, makes them sound like they do in italian)
The grave ` à è ì ò ù (we only use it in the à... I guess the french use all those...)
The tilde ~ you have, but we can use it with other letters ã õ ñ(this n is only used when writing spanish)
The umlaut ¨, or with other letters ä ë ï ö ü (only used when writing in german or something like it)



I like the PT-PT keyboard. It's very versatile.... but makes writing code a bit of a pain, because the brackets all require pressing shift or altGr. Nothing you don't get used to...
