The strangest sensation is when I’m able to “read” a whole sentence in that I know all the words but it just doesn’t mean anything to me—usually because it’s some construction I’m unfamiliar with. I don’t recall ever feeling that way in English

Sometimes I miss a “ne” or mistake a linking term or a tense, eg take the future for the conditional. Basic errors that radically alter the meaning of sentences without me thinking I’m unable to read it

But this is enough that you could mistake instructions on your prescription bottle, for instance

Wait you mean a young millennial?

this is a good time

basically that i need to encrypt everything and not connect to any wifi networks maintained by the government

I think this is the dawn of our beautiful age of stochastic programming where it just randomly works sometimes and doesn't other times

ok if anyone else is having this issue I finally ended up downloading WinCompose which forces the shortcuts to work. worked ok for me with a US English keyboard

enfin je suis libérée

No, no keyboard shortcut on the face of the earth works, I have tried every single one in multiple applications

this is really completely unacceptable. how in the world is someone supposed to use Windows for international business like this??

Yeah I installed both Interlingua and Interlingue which appear to be international keyboards with AZERTY and QWERTY layouts respectively but neither work. I switched back to English US and now can randomly type accents in some applications and not others

it's completely broken

well i can now, for no reason, type accents exclusively in notepad and nowhere else

it's so cool that Microsoft has replaced their help forums with chatbots so now you say this 50 times and they just respond with "Great question! Open up settings and choose English (International)"

there's something called "Interlingua" which is apparently supposed to replace it according to some, but it just is AZERTY for me

not to simp for Jobs but on Mac this is SO EASY. I can't comprehend why Windows is making something so common this hard

windows is becoming completely unusable very rapidly. I can't even type a fucking accent because they've apparently killed the US international keyboard option

this is a bad joke, right?

although it's so cute when French people want to try their english with me too they like to test their numbers
