When what started as a loose collection of books became a language shelf, which became the language two shelves, then the language bookcase and then you need to either buy a bigger bookcase or have two language bookcase's. (I can't resist buying interesting books when there on discount, even if I might never read it 4 dollars for a textbook on hindi wasn't a deal I could pass up)

When you need to switch different keyboards very frequently, because you wanted to type 6 different languages in the same document............

When you don't need to because you created a custom keyboard that can type almost all. ;- ) 2 persons have voted this message useful | ||||||

When you neither need to switch keyboards nor create a custom layout, because the editor you use already provides sneaky ways to have all specials characters plus various other alphabets out of the box. (vim -- Caution, nerdware squared!) edit: trying to fix the link. HTML forums are definitely non-nerdy. Edited by OlafP on 10 March 2010 at 12:53pm 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

When despite all these great shortcuts and custom keyboard switches to hand, you still use a Typing Tutor to learn how to type in Russian...for fun :-S Edited by Teango on 10 March 2010 at 1:13pm 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Lol I'm doing the same, except minus the important part, eg. the discount. Just spent over 100$ on an obscure dictionary the other day. Why? I could use that money for food! Haha. Oh well, true artists suffer for their work. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||
