Meet the Fait Accompli, the world’s most mediocre vehicle. In French License chapter 3 you’ll also meet many characters I’ll adapt to in a middling manner, including my co-workers and my keyboard.
Here’s an extract:
My keyboard didn’t have the familiar Q-W-E-R-T-Y letters in the upper-left-hand corner. Instead it read ‘A-Z-E-R-T-Y’ The letters Q and Z are so prevalent they’re worth nothing in French scrabble. So, their placement on the keyboard was swapped with the A and W, respectively. The M was also moved, along with other characters popular in English. Maybe the inventor was trying to avoid being labeled a ‘bqstqrd son of q zhore.’
