TheScarf Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 Folk (my dad in this case) who think you should turn into a mechanic/solicitor/plumber when something happens. For example, my boiler is playing up, the lights look like a Christmas tree at the moment, flashing like fuck, and there's no hot water. Queue my dad giving it the 'have you checked the flu isnt blocked? Have you tried to see if the pressure needs altered?' Funnily enough no I haven't, because I'm not a fucking CORGI registered plumber dad. In the same way I don't start taking my fucking engine apart in the driveway when my car won't start, because I'm not a fucking mechanic. Another example of his of when I should start using my imaginary trade. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ignoring your VL-like tone, I forgot to mention, yes I did try the quick fixes in the boiler manual. Actually made it worse on this occasion; the lights are flashing even more frequently. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

charger29 Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 Since I took my (Samsung) phone to Norway, any use of an 'ae' in chrome, FB, WhatsApp etc etc appears in the Norwegian style where they're joined to form a single character. Hunted high and low for a setting to change this for over a year now, which has been a completely fruitless effort. Guessing you've already tried going to 'language and input' in the settings?The on screen keyboard settings in there has a reset too.Other than that I'd download another keyboard. That way at least you'll know if its the phone or keyboard thats the issue. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The a and e joined together to form æ is called a typographic ligature. As to how you fix it, no idea, sorry. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
