and a little PS: check the keyboard, there is something wrong with the
"y's"... :-P

Bet you a dollar he's typing on a non german keyboard and is a touch typist.
German keyboards have the Y and Z transposed from English/American ones and
if you don't remember that you tend to transpose. I know I did when I was
using them during my european travels.

Aha!...
Apparently, not only the German. I can now see why sometimes my own keyboard
starts writing some "peculiar" characters. I knew there had to be a rational
explanation!
Is there a different convention for each country? I understand that there
used to be a Portuguese Standard keyboard for typwriters, but it has long
been forgotten. Do keyboards work like that for computers either?

Color me jealous.

And me... <Sigh!>
