And, shifted 3 produces the British Pound character. I've gone into Win 10 and checked that the Language is set to American English, not British. The tilde key produces: ` unshifted and ¬ shifted. Your language is set to American English, but is your keyboard layout set that way? I think they're distinct settings.

Don't be tempted by the US International keyboard, it turns all your quote marks into accents.

As others have remarked, there are two distinct 'languages' at play - your machine will display in Mercan, but you need to set up your keyboard layout to Mercan too.

Is there anyone who smokes cigarettes that does not regret having done so? Just curious. Perhaps George Burns never regretted it.
[Edit]I guess I did not ask it clearly enough. I'm still learning English.
Take 2.
I wonder if anyone, while they were a smoker, did not regret having become a smoker. Hopefully that is more clear. [/Edit]
