    That's why they invented the inverted exclamation mark ¡, it's for usage instead of the i when the above happens . . :eek:

    For me the ¡ character is accessible by hitting the ‘‘Alt Gr’’ and ‘‘1’’ key simultaneously, so "no **** allowed" becomes "no sh¡t allowed" :rolleyes:

    Thank you Angelique for sorting that out although I have no idea what you are talking about.

    Although you worked out the word I was trying to say rather than the word hoytedow thought I was trying to say.

    In Australia the word I was trying to say is acceptable and the word Hoytedow thought I was trying to say is probably OK.

    It reminds me of some American athletes who were interviewed on TV

    Thanks Angelique.

    At least, you have indicated the word I was trying to say, (in Australia socially acceptable) rather than the word Hoytedow thought I was saying (marginally acceptable).

    Sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me.

    You are being kind. I am a rank amateur by any comparison. I lack formal training in this field and bow to your vast knowledge. :idea:

    Hoyt you're too kind, it's as Richard (Apex1) once said in a later removed post . . .

    ‘‘ The ability to Google fast is no substitute for a solid education. ’’

    I'm from the former category here and try to learn from the latter because their knowledge is widely distributed over these great forums [​IMG]

    In the meantime we have some fun as well, and sometimes even learn about life . . :)

    The usage of an inverted exclamation mark instead of an i when a word with an i is blocked.

    So it reads as an i but the controller doesn't notice, kinda VW thing so to say . . . :eek:
