[Tutorial] How to use a Keyboard

[Mudkips]

Before we start, I must say this was orignally posted by l3ulletje over at the WireMod forums. Ok, lets begin.


Hi guys, welcome to my first tutorial.
This tutorial will teach you how to use a keyboard.
Here is a picture of a 'Standard Windows Keyboard Layout,' aka "QWERTY".



It might be a bit different then the keyboard you have at home. I will give you a few minutes to check where all the buttons are.

Okay, ready? Off we go.

I bet you have asked yourself, "Why are those pretty colors in the picture?".
Well I'll explain.

As example:
You want to tell your fellow forum members how much you like apples and that you have grown an apple tree in your own garden.

You could give us this information like this:
i like apples and i have grown an apple tree in my garden - Wrong!

Next time you want to write a sentence think about the stoplight rule, Red Yellow Green!

Before starting you sentence, hold any of the two "Shift" buttons (Red) and type the first letter.
It's very important to let go of shift afterwards! Otherwise you get this:
I LIKE APPLES AND I HAVE GROWN AN APPLETREE IN MY GARDEN - Even worse!

You can practice now by opening notepad and type these words:
Cow
Beer
Goat
Socks
Pancakes

Get it? Okay, off to the next step.
When you end a sentence press; " . " (Yellow) This will let your fellow forum members know that your sentence has ended.

Now you should have:
I like apples and i have grown an apple tree in my garden. - Great!
(Okay, you should write i, names and countries with a big letter also, but that's something for a next lesson.)

Now you need to press either "Enter" or "Space" (Green) This will make some space between your sentences which makes it even more easy to read for your fellow forum members.

As final note:
English is a nice language. It may be a bit difficult to know how to spell words. Nobody will say anything bad when you make a mistake. I'm sure I made a few in this tutorial myself.
Just put a little bit effort in your posts, it makes life for you and all of your fellow forum members, a whole lot easier.

Thank you for reading this tutorial and I hope I'll see you next time.

Nobody gives a damn about punctuation and capitalization. Unless you're writing a formal letter. So why bother with it?

[Phygar]

It can make you appear more intelligent to a stranger if you use proper grammar. Other than that there's not really any reason to.
