	Computer keyboard - Facts, Information, and Encyclopedia Reference article
		Keyboards are designed for the input of text and characters, and also to control the operation of the computer.
		These different keyboard layouts arise because different people need easy access to different symbols; typically, this is because they are writing in different languages, but specialised keyboard layouts for mathematical, accounting, or computer-programming use do exist.
		Keyboards are less than ideal when many keys are pressed at once, as the limited circuitry means that only a certain number of keys will register at one time.

	British and American keyboards - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		There are two major English language keyboard layouts, the United States layout and the United Kingdom layout.
		People in these countries were forced to choose between a keyboard layout incompatible with their hardware, or having their spell checker software complain about locally-correct spelling like 'colour'.
		Further, even if your hardware keyboard layout does not match the device driver software layout that was pre-selected, you can change that without changing the regional setting.

	andreas.com FAQ: Keys
		British don't have the # symbol; in fact, they don't know what it is. Their keyboard has a £ symbol, which doesn't exist on an American keyboard.
		There is not much of a standard as to where the keys will be on the keyboard, or what drawing will be generated when you press that key.
		Keyboards use the same mode system that is so annoying with electronic wrist watches.

	American and British English differences at AllExperts
		British English has a reasonable degree of uniformity in its formal written form, which, as taught in schools, is largely the same as in the rest of the English-speaking world (except North America).
		Americans may use the plural form when the individual membership is clear, for example, "the team take their seats" (not "the team takes its seat(s)"), although it is often rephrased to avoid the singular/plural decision, as in "the team members take their seats".
		Americans use "billion" to mean one thousand million (1,000,000,000), whereas in the UK, until the latter part of the 20th century, it was used to mean one million million (1,000,000,000,000) (although historically such numbers were not often required outside of mathematical and scientific contexts).

	Keyboard layout at AllExperts
		A syllabic chord keyboard is a keyboard with three sets of keys that are used to type in a single syllable with one (combined) keystroke.
		Some keyboard layouts for non-Roman alphabetic scripts, most notably the Greek layout, are based on the QWERTY layout, in that glyphs are assigned as far as possible to keys that bear similar-sounding or appearing glyphs in QWERTY.
		In Japanese, the QWERTY-based JIS keyboard layout is used, and the pronunciation of each character is entered using Hepburn romanization or Kunrei-shiki romanization.

		The influence of the British Empire is the primary reason for the language's initial spread far beyond the British Isles.
		In certain older texts (typically British), the use of ligatures is common in words such as archÃ¦ology, diarrhÅ“a, and encyclopÃ¦dia.
		Nowadays, the ligatures have been generally replaced in British English by the separated letters "ae" and "oe" ("encyclopaedia", "diarrhoea") and in American English by "e" ("encyclopedia", "diarrhea"); however, the spellings "oeconomy" and "oecology" are now generally replaced by "economy" and "ecology" outside the U.S. as well.

		The British band Gomez is a five-piece, consisting of Ben Ottewell (vocals, guitar), Tom Gray (vocals, guitar, keyboards), Paul Blackburn (bass, guitar), Olly Peacock (drums), and Ian Ball (vocals, guitar, harmonica).
		Whereas the majority of up-and-coming British bands are either retro-pop (à la Oasis), trip-hop (Portishead), or space rock (the Verve, Radiohead), Gomez is one of the few to contain bluesy elements in their rock.
		Following Oasis' lead of crafting down-to-earth, heartfelt songs in the vein of classic British bands from the '60s, Travis was more successful and enduring than some of their peers due to their lively, impassioned songwriting and performances.

		At the very moment that American forces were massing for an invasion of Iraq, there were indications that a rogue group of senior Pentagon officials were already conspiring to push the United States into another war-this time with Iran.
		The planes were described as civilian flights and the US did not notify the British authorities of their cargo, which, according to one newspaper report included bunker-busting high explosive bombs.
		This military operation is a continuation and escalation of the imperialist geo-political restructuring of the Middle East and Central Asia that began with the invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq, and whose goal is the establishment of US domination of the entire region.
