Not American here. Why would you put the punctuation inside the quotes unless you are quoting punctuation? Unless I misunderstood what you mean.

For example:

Bob wrote “this is amazing!”.

Bob used an exclamation point, so I quoted an exclamation. If it is the end of my sentence then I use a full stop, if I quote it then it would imply the end of their sentence even though it wasn’t.

Frazorth is amazing when he speaks, as I never knew someone could be quite so incoherent.

Would be quoted as

Bob said “Frazorth is amazing.”

It distorts the context.

Plus £25 delivery. It’s not bad looking though

Sorry, I missed that. Although how much does your original link charge for delivery? They claim to use DHL, and they also state you’ll have to pay the import duty yourself, so it’ll cost a margin more.

I’ve not heard of a keyboard that is Windows only. Not sure how it’ll work

There are plenty of other examples, I didn’t actually check whether the one you linked was wired, Bluetooth or both.

This one is Bluetooth for £75

Tkl Wired for £54

Keyboards can be very personal, and what you look for will be vastly different to other people. For example your example looks fucking awful to me. TKL all the way, as the arrow keys on a 75% are mashed in with the other keys so its like some sort of shitty laptop keyboard. My wife refuses to use one that’s not full sized as she uses the ten keypad all the time for work.

But since you posted here I assume you care what other people think, so here is my opinion.

You’ve posted in UK mechanical keyboards and unfortunately this is not ISO, so the layout is missing keys.

If you have your heart set of 75%, them what about a Keychron?

It is also the OS.

Windows doesn’t let you have a Steam Deck experience because its against the ToS. Once you don’t care about the user experience, why would you care about the HID?

So let me understand the proposal. We merge MP regions so each Labour/Tory candidate is running against their respective Labour/Tory candidate in another region in addition to the opposition in their opponent’s in their existing constituency?

I assume the purpose of this system is it allows an independent to capture votes from multiple areas, so fringe groups will get minor representation instead of the least popular candidate from the major parties?

[Edit] And if you only have a candidate in your area for your favourite party doesn’t tow the line and is marginally racist, you can vote for another candidate for that party that fits your taste?

I could probably be able to do once every 3 weeks, but that’s because there are four of us here.

I may be able to do every 6 weeks once the teenagers move out.

Once a month will impact those that do recycle everything they can. That’s quite a wait between collections.
