  1. Elijah says he wishes he could go to Israel so he could help you study Hebrew.

    How does your keyboard switch from English to Hebrew? Do you flip a literal switch, or push a button, or what?

  2. I have to click a language bar on the screen. The keyboard has the Hebrew letters on them as well as the English. I learned to type with "My Hebrew Tutor," a fun little game with a goose hanging clothes on the line. Typing the points is a problem. You have to type the letter, hit CapsLock, then shift and a number, and then CapsLock again to get out of the points. Surely they can come up with something better. I found a website that has the right idea, (without using CapsLock) but it's supposed to save your work as a pdf, and it doesn't save it, and I don't want a pdf anyway. There are 48 keys on my keyboard, and with Alt that would be 96, which would be enough for letters, numbers, points, and punctuation, so why doesn't somebody put it together. You can buy a program to make each key exactly what you want, but what a hassle. And then each point has to go under the letter, not in a separate space.

  3. Over or under the letter, that is.
