Pink Fairy Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 Yes, but is the truth properly punctuated? On a philosophical note, can truth even BE true if it isn't properly punctuated? Please discuss, with extensive examples. }{ (It's a butterfly. Or possibly two people with pointy noses discussing punctuations. Or a Rorshach test. It's all up to you, really.) Yes, please, especially the extensive examples part! :bigear: I can't make an informed decision without more information. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amey311 Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 She probably use the Character key. It's one of the tools or something and that's how you get fun things like e with an accent. there are macros for that stuff too like [alt + some number] which I used to know when I was writing in spanish more regularly.
