I got a new work laptop this week. I’m in the process of setting it up, and I can already tell it’s going to take some adjusting to — even though it’s the same model I had before. You see, my new laptop is from here in the UK. It comes with all the tiny, subtle differences between a US and UK keyboard.
Most noticably, the Enter key is tall and thin. I have to really reach for it with my pinky. I envision many accidental backslashes in my future.
It’s a tiny reminder, every time I sit down with my laptop, of where I live now. 🙂

That is weird! Do you know what that is all about?
It turns out the US layout I’m used to is the ANSI keyboard layout, while the UK (along with many other countries) uses the ISO keyboard layout. What’s most common Canada?
