• Keyboard issue

  My question mark key/backslash key on my keyboard isn't working, so I have to use the division key on the number pad to make a backslah.  [I also have to use the decimal key on the number pad to make a period, because the period key is also not working.]  So, how do I ask a question without question marks......I use the old TTY lingo.  The ancient TTY [a device used by the Deaf to communicate on the telephone] didn't have easy ways to make punctuation marks, so they had a lingo.  

  For example:

  • to indicate a question - QQ
  • to indicate an end to a thought, and your turn to type - GA
  • to indicate nearing an end to the conversation - SK   

  So, for this post [and probably all future ones until I get something new] please refer to this to understand my question mark dilima.

  Okay QQ
