The other day, in Microsoft Word: 15 -- Microsoft Windows: 0 , I wrote about a case where everyone ignored

Being smart, by not trying to be clever

it makes trouble only

But is it mnemonical?

Regular reader Rosyna asked the other day in a comment to an unrelated post: What decides the mnemonics

Yep, this is the one.

I think we'll have to wait for "Smarter Quotes" to turn it back on again....

So is this setting why my "smart quotes" turn into Unicode characters when I type in Outlook? I tried a bunch of stuff (like removing auto-detection of language as I type) but finally just gave up and turned off smart quotes. :-)

What decides the mnemonics used for the various checkboxes? Like Alt+E for "Use smart cursoring" (What is cursoring, is that a word?) But how does it come to take the "e" from "Use"?

Also, "Languages labeled with limited support require additional support." That's a funny phrase.

You should never apologize for referencing the great Dr. Stephen T. Colbert D.F.A. :)

Well, it is not technically an IME, it's just a boring old keyboard -- and this is 100% pure Word bug with the app doing special handling of input -- and doing it badly....

If you're bored, you can really play with it -- do things like putting the Hindi keyboard under the Kannada language to see if it messes that up to. Or you can do what I did and turn off the sequence checking. :-)
