OT but funny none the less
Adrienne Boswell
wondered why PHP code was showing in email messages. Someone asked for a
snippet of the code, and this is what the OP wrote:
mail($webMaster, ŁemailSubject, Łbody, $headers)
The OP is a Brit. In the end, someone told the OP what was wrong, and all
was well.
Just thought y'all might enjoy that.

Oh, English variables. We Americans have dominated variables too long

Shift+3 is # not Ł. You have a weird keyboard :P
This is a standard keyboard:

Shift 3 is a pound sign on an English (UK) keyboard.

And this is an English (UK) keyboard layout.
You might read the rest of that article. There are many more keyboard
layouts than the standard US one.

Actually it is. My LK450 keyboard shows Shift+3 as being # and £ I
suspect that in a British locale, # should show up as £.

Yep, and it became very awkward for me when I was teaching a C class in
Dusseldorf. I'm a touch typist - and some of the keys were in the wrong
place on my German keyboard :)

I don't live in US and almost everyone here uses standard US keyboard. Why
can't you? You Brits always make problems and don't use standards- like with
miles, pounds, inches and stuff :P

Yeah...I'm pretty sure that was aaaa's point. Now quit driving on the
wrong side of the road before you hurt someone. :D

Anyway, its irrelevant to US people driving in the UK. They drive
straight down the middle of the road regardless.

And me. Quite a few times. My brain just registers it as 'money
sign'.
Occasionally I try to use the % sign too...

There is no real character near the end of that line since it is not defined

Although I appreciate the promotion, are you seriously trying to
convince me that something is right because more people do it? You
shouldn't be so surprised to see your backward-isms throughout the
world that you colonized and oppressed ;)

Due to your XNews not mentioning any encoding, I only see question marks,
unless I manually guess your encoding.
