keyboards.":  By the way, despite repeated claims to this effect, the
apostrophe is still alive and well on the computer keyboard.  Although
vowels with the breve are available in the widely used TrueType fonts, it

vowels with keyboard shortcuts in MS Word and probably in other up-to-date
word processors and is on the keyboard as the separate symbol ^.

my keyboard, whatever the software I use. If ignorant foreigners can do
