Many keyboard layouts use the right alt as the AltGr key for additional characters like language-specific letters or currency symbols (or at least many European ones do). As for th…

Still much better when it fails at the first step. I once got myself in a bit of a struggle with Windows 10 by using "ł" as part of Windows username. Amusingly/irritatingly large n…

I got curious if I can get data to answer that, and it seems so. Based on xlsx from [0], we got the following ??d? localities in Poland: 1 x Bądy, 1 x Brda, 5 x Buda, 120 x Budy, 4…

Actually, in English it is pronounced the same as in Czech and Polish: /hɛhɛ/ or /hihi/ (as far as I know). Both are written respectively as "hehe" and "hihi" and are valid express…
