NICHOLAS!! I'm surprised at you! Surely you know this is nothing more than
having his language set to Yankese rather than English?

You are using a UK keyboard (with a =A3 over 3) but are using a US
keyboard layout driver (or the other way around, but I presume the UK
layout as you have a UK email address)

Go to Control Panel - Regional And Language Options. Take the Language
page and click Details.
There if you do not see United Kingdom under Keyboard for English in the
lower pane, click on Add and search for it in the lower drop down, so
you have English (United Kingdom) and United Kingdom in those two panes.
Click OK. Then in the parent page, select this combination in the
Default Input language in the top drop down, Apply, OK and Apply any
time it is available on the way as you OK out. Then close and restart
to bring it into use.
