You can get almost every special character that way. Accenting letters and typing special characters are super easy in all contexts on osx.

Omerta posted:Currently working on an ERISA case. Probably my least favorite area of the law other than Title VII. I'm doing a lot of ERISA stuff at my job and ERISA sucks. And regarding fantasy football, I finished the regular season with the second highest score in my league and still got bumped out of the playoffs, so no $1000 first prize for me. Next season I'm going to do an "All Play" league where you play every team each week. The matchup system is stupid. I never really liked the dynamic of the standard matchup system before, but this was enough to make me realize that it's dumb that I do it this way. And the guy who didn't set his team, most leagues have their playoffs start in week 14. In a 12-team league, you usually have three weeks of playoffs (13, 14, and 16) with six teams making the playoffs.

You poor American suckers -- Canadians can pinpoint cite cases and legislation with 'para' and 's' for paragraph and section, and they even removed all the superfluous periods in the last round of amendments to the citation rules.

Things that are nice: when a partner suddenly starts spelling your name exactly right and then offers to help you out with a personal goal of yours. Because it's 5 am and you're both working.

The Senior Partner put his pencil down and looked up, and the Warszawa smiled. "The S comes before the Z," said the Senior Partner, a playful glint in his eyes. He laughed, holding up the pad of yellow lined paper they'd been working on since midnight. Line after line, page after page, the young catamite's name scrawled again and again in graphite but every time spelled wrong...until now. "I hear from the junior partners that you have personal goals," said the Senior Partner as he rolled his leather executive chair around the desk. The Partner's legs fit perfectly around the Warszawa's, two knobby sharkskin knees against the young man's Tom Ford-clad thighs. "Tell me about them." The Warszawa licked his lips. This was as good a time as any, the sky outside the Senior Patner's windows a deep purple as the sun threatened to rise. The Warszawa slowly slipped to his knees and thought how far he'd come, how few others could say they'd seen their name spelled correctly on the Partner's pad. "I do have a goal," he said, looking up into the Partner's face. "And that goal is yourggllmfffgglllllffff..."
