Many recordings and things will also mess with the audio a little bit. I've been told my voice is noticeably deeper over the phone than in person, for example.

So I have the European keyboard layout, with the Y next to the X (where it damn should be).
This isin't the European keyboard layout, it's the "German-speaking countries keyboard layout". Like, okay, they compromise a fair part of Europe, but despite the best tries and the history we all know, Germans aren't all Europeans. I am pretty sure that UK, Netherlands, Spain, Italians are apparently also using regular QWERTY, so does Poland and most of the Eastern Europe, and France uses AZERTY IIRC. So no, it's not the European layout.

Uh, no? And no?

The french layout is BÉPO. And that's the only layout I can find that has Y and X next to eachother on the bottom row. It's perfectly fine to call that one the european layout I would think since there's a lot of latin derived languages in europe it would work well for. Though I'm not sure how old it is.

Maybe you should start actually looking into things before you type.

Damn near quit my job today. In addition to the usual bullshit I have to deal with during the first hour(which actually takes an hour and a half if I'm lucky) of the day, there's a rack carrying Men's XL(and up) heavy coats hanging from a wall, a rack I have been warning every manager in the place all week that was going to collapse under the weight only to be completely ignored. I had been refusing to touch it(even though it's in the area I'm assigned to clean up in the morning - a bigger area than anyone else in the store) because of this. I figure that if it hasn't come down all week, I may as well try to- one touch and the whole damn rack come crashing down with enough force to warp and twist one of the metal braces attaching it to the wall. You know, the exact thing I've telling everyone was going to happen actually happened holy crap what a goddamned surprise.

Minutes after this, a coworker goes through the other racks I've already taken care of and sweeps everything off to the side on several racks* undoing everything I had just done in the past half-hour or so, then gives me a bullshit excuse when I tell him to stop doing that. My memory is not entirely coherent for the next hour or so, but I haven't felt like that since I left my last job. My hands were shaking uncontrollably for most the day, so much that I managed to prick my finger with the pricing gun with enough force to cause bleeding for the first time since I started 7-8 months ago - something that happens to other people repeatedly on a daily basis I may add.

At this point, I'm sick of having to do extra work or put extra effort in because everyone else simply refuses to do their job right. And I'm sick of being ignored when I point problems out, and then being ignored when problems become actual problems.

*We are required to separate clothes on the racks into groups based on the color of the tag which denotes what week the clothes were put out. And the boss made it very clear that we're supposed to do this.

BÉPO is much like the American Dvorak layout - an alternative layout that has gotten just enough recognition to be noticable but still a distinct minority. The default, and vastly more common, layout in France and Belgium is AZERTY.

The QWERTZ layout (identical to QWERTY but with Y and Z swapped) is most common in Germany, Austria and other Central European countries.

Huh, well it's the only one I saw listed as "French" and it has y and x near. I didn't notice the azerty one, whoop.

Keyboard layouts are weird.

I may of let myself type and send too fast because I was annoyed with the sudden weird anti german bit.

I live in Poland and I had no idea this exists. It also looks kinda wrong, I mean, why all the special letters are in the upper right side while the places they usually are (like ą is alt+a usually) empty or have special letters that aren't even used in Polish (those special d and D, I am pretty sure this is some Scandinavian stuff), and I'm not even sure how I would be supposed to use it. Also, @ on V? Wut.

Hey, sorry, I just eh, don't like when people make it look that whole Europe is basically only Germany or only Germany is relevant. I mean, okay, EU and stuff, but they haven't forced their keyboards on us yet, so there's that.

I always thought "vov" was somebody with their eyes closed blowing outward. After I realized it wasn't a word pronounced "vahv", that is.
