Assuming you mean what i think you do you need to change your keyboard settings so they match with where your keyboard was made, if you live in america most likely you need american setting, you get the idea, im sure the option is in the control panel somewhere.

Change your regional settings to En-US.

 

Yeh alphas got it, thats what i meant, you probably have it set to spanish or something.

 

Better yet, change it to English (Australia). Damn you Alpha, the US is not the centre of the world //shakes fist

 

Well, I think that depends on the map you are using, as far as I know, America is the middle of the world on american maps. On a european map, Europe is in the middle...
It is all a matter of perspective

But it sounds like Asguard has the settings on German (just a wild guess),
Is there an extra option for Australian English? ... Yes, there is, then I would also advice to choose that.
BTW, where is the difference between australian and american English?

 

Sounds like maybe you have problems with the automatic replacement of " with the specialized one that looks like ``, only closer together. The specialized quotation mark always shows up funny when I get an email from them and I use Pine to read it. There should be an option to turn that replacement off in MS Office and OpenOffice.

 

The UK is in the centre as do not many people use the whole GMT +/- set up? GMT is the centre which includes UK, Portugal and some parts of Africa.

Anyway, as Asgard is Aussie that's the way to go. I have no idea how Australian English is different to Standard English (English English)

 

Africa is in the center and then UK is on top..

Australian english IS english, the only difference is in the slang and the words we use

The reason there is an American english is because they cant SPELL

But anyway the Keyboard is set to US international and the language is australian

it seems like a special functon like but i dont know how to turn it off

Edit to add:

im very embarised now, when i changed it to US only rather than US international it went away.

Thank you

I'm not even in the US, I just said En-US because that's the standard keyboard layout.

 

Probably the same way american english is different from english english.
