Different Kezboard make me look stupido

It's a surprise to me that there is a different kezboard lazout in Swityerland. The y and the z are switched. It must be because thez use the z so much more than the y or thez donät use the y at all. And the apostrophe is not where <i expect it to be either, so <i am alwazs looking for it. And zou know how often <i use an exclamation point in mz dramatic writing. Where is it? I have to search and that takes time and the next person is waiting behind me with breath down mz neckö.
We have had a busz daz todaz with a three hour break to take a trip up a mountain, and then back to class until 6pm. <i am so exhausted from the middaz hike that I dismissed everzone earlz. The students were relieved to be able to stop deciding what to do next. WE have made 7 quilts in one daz.
What I need?
Wine.
More tomorrow... i hope...
LOVE mELODZ

  2. and apparently, the shift key is in a different place, too. I totally sympathise as I am typing on a friend's (American) keyboard, where the " and the @ are in opposite places to mine and the enter key is smaller, so I keep reaching for it and hitting the \

    Welcome to the 'Continent' Ms Mel. It is a German keyboard. I know the UK one played me up too last week, nothing was where it should have been. LOL

  5. Don't forget not only have you the jetlag to contend with but altitude as well.
    I find it hard just going from one keyboard to another, I lose the plot totally when the letters are in different places. Once in an internet cafe in Greece, I just had to give up. I could get it to type English letters but had to type out the whole Greek alphabet for almost every letter every time.
    Have some of the heated and spiced red wine, it works more quickly than normal. (And it tastes delicious)

  6. Just a few days in Switzerland, and you are starting to sound funny. I'm sure the altitude is working on you.
