Anyway, here's an ergonomic keyboard for pirates, especially adapted for Beijing.

Sorry for the silliness. Couldn't help myself, I guess, but at least it's out of my system now.

"apparently you can delete or edit a response to a post, but not an original post. (Sigh)."
btw Rachel, you can delete or edit an original post. You just go to community, posts, and then on the right of your latest post click on the pencil icon. From there you can edit it, or if you save to drafts it can then be deleted.

arrrrr, I hope you don't mind Rachel that I tried to blow up you pic. I was trying to make out the central character between shift and enter. In most versions of this keyboard it is just "R" but not in italics. I guess this could be R in italics or is it a chinese character? I guess "R" would just be for "(aa)RRRRRRRR!!!!" , 对巴？
SF_Rachel
糟糕！The character here is supposed to be 儿, of course!
bababardwan
oh, of course. Very apt

Let's try that again.
