Yep, I was leaving aside instant access to em-dashes, ellipses, proper curly quotes, dipthongs, etc. I contribute books to https://standardebooks.org/ as a hobby, so those are things I use daily as well.


I wasn't joking about how I'd buy Macs if all I did with computers was write & compose English text. I mean I'd get used and fairly low-end ones, but still. The keyboard's that good. Well, not the keyboard keyboard, but the layout in software. Which, again, is a weird thing to still be a significant advantage to one brand or OS over another when they're all using very nearly the same physical key layout.
