On vacation, Paris is awesome, although June is setting records here for coldest in a long time.

Writing this from Paris, using a fucking French keyboard. YOU HAVE TO SHIFT UP TO GET TO THE PERIOD.

Here are a list of characters you can type with a single keystroke, which are somehow prioritized above THE GODDAMN PERIOD:

& é ( è ç à ) = $ * ù ! : ;

Really, France? The colon? The exclamation point? the dollar sign?!? These are more worthy of prime keyboard real estate?

ça, c'est complètement fou.

but that way you can just hold down the shift key when typing phone numbers, which are also stupidly deprioritized!

But now I don't type right on Alerican keyboards. I think I'll be typing thqnks all my life...

Also thqt. I typed a lot of thqt in my days in France.

But the DOLLAR sign (not even the euro sign)??!! Seriously?!
