What a rubbish excuse lol.
My keyboard is British.
I tried it without changing the keys around, was fine.
I decided to re-arrenge the keys, to dedicate myself.
You lose the pound sign. That's all :-)
Alt-codes anyone ;-)

Kintaro:
I feel I have learned QWERTY pretty well so I will stick with that.

How about keys like # and ` and '? They are different from US ones.

Well, no. It was changed even before there were any typists. The Remington, the first typewriter available to public already had the Qwerty. But I agree, it was not (by Sholes) intended to be a final solution, just temporary. And there is no reason to be using the Qwerty, whatsoever. I have some trouble though, because there is no Czech version... and to think Dvorak was Czech!!!
