Are people's £ key broken?

I don't know about that, but what really irks me is this new trend of people putting the pound sign after the value, i.e. 100£. It's as bad as the other retarded new trend where people put a space before any punctuation mark.

The 100£ could well be because they’re European . Some countries do that .

As for the space before the punctuation mark , people have been doing that for years . They’re just weird, along with those that insist on two spaces after a fullstop !:p

The forum used to delete unnecessary spaces after punctuation . Yep still does :p

Same here. Also, many of the PCs I use are US keymapped, so I alt+0163 almost all the time out of habit.

Spaces before punctuation are the sign of a disturbed mind :p. Two spaces after a full stop is probably just a sign of age. I learned to type (I never mastered full touch type though) as a kid on mechanical then electronic typewriters, just before the Vic20 and Speccy 48k corrupted my youth. That was the correct way to type. I know it is not necessary now with modern print fonts but old habits die hard.
 
id rather google it £, CTRL+C -> CTRL+V onto whatever i am typing than actually use the word. And i am highly critical of people such a grammar Nazis.
 
Can never remember the ALT+ code so its pounds or ukp whenever I write it, they use US keyboards down here.
 
Probably cos there are a lot of people on here with US layout keyboards. I used to have a US layout TKL keyboard and I would write either $100 or 100 pounds. :p
