Do French AZERTY keyboards not have a ‘ key?
Like an apostrophe?
Because Tim Hortons in Canada was originally Tim Horton’s but then the Quebecois got testy because they don’t have a ‘ in French so they had to rename the company to just get rid of the ‘ and now the whole franchise no longer is possessive.
Anyway, my keyboard I’m using here is a French Canadian which has all the fun stuff like «» ¢ ½¾ ç and stuff that is honestly useful on an English qwerty but only this keyboard has. Like if you aren’t from Canada you probably don’t know this kinda obscure keyboard but its based because its basically a QWERTY but with a bunch of extra shit on it.
