Tengo mi nuevo Español teclado ayer.

I'm never going to get it right. :(

Sure you will.
You could have changed the first verb to "I received" and then 'ayer' could have stood on its own. But with the present-tense verb you chose, it doesn't make sense on its own. English allows a noun to modify a noun. That can't happen in Spanish. By the way, names of languages aren't capitalized in Spanish. |
I originally had: Tengo mi nuevo español teclado hoy.
|
Again, 'I received' would have worked better. :)
receive = recibir Go here to see how to conjugate it into 'I received' (preterit tense). Then, looking at the correction at the top of the thread, try your hand at 'I received my new Spanish keyboard today/yesterday' in Spanish. |
What does this button mean? ¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬
|
It is a 'not sign'. The caret (^), a mark on the same key as the number 6, is also used as a 'not sign' (see regular expressions in information technology - character class).
|
I wonder why they have it on a Spanish keyboard but not on an English keyboard.
|
Couldn't say, except that there have been many different layouts on English keyboards.
Not everyone uses the same layout. |
It's funny Dell doesn't even know. They told me:

Um, that's the description for the '@' symbol.
|
A friend of mine calls it "signo de negación lógica"; in English it's called "bash", I'm told. It is used in programming and they read it as "no". So Q is the contrary to ¬Q.
No idea why it is a part of the Latin American Keyboard; I've never used it. Maybe programmers and mathematicians had a big say in what characters should be priority. :thinking: By the way, in my keyboard (Spanish from Spain) it's typed with ctrl + alt + 6 |
Thanks. I knew Dell support was wrong. He argued with me that he was right. I thought he was describing @.
I just thought there was some specific reason why it was on a Spanish keyboard, but almost all programming is written in English. At least I know what it is. I thought it was something else, because in Korean there is a very similar character ㅋ which is like LOL. On funny videos they use ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ a lot. |
