Re: The spelling thread
On a UK keyboard, its on the same key as the @ sign, on the right hand side, needs no use of the shift key
One of the simplest things to try is to open a post to reply, then just use every key on the keyboard, shifted and unshifted, then you can see just where every letter, symbol is. You don't need to post it, just click on the 'my profile' , takes you off the page without posting,

It came with my pea sea

Miss steaks eye kin knot sea.
Eye strike a key and type a word
And weight four it two say
Weather eye am wrong oar write
It shows me strait a weigh.
As soon as a mist ache is maid
It nose bee fore two long
And eye can put the error rite
Its rare lea ever wrong.
Eye have run this poem threw it
I am shore your pleased two no
Its letter perfect awl the weigh
My chequer tolled me sew.

Yes, used in many places where secretarial work is taut, my ex taught word processing, and all her students were given it to look carefully at, and then decide that they shouldn't rely on it.
