Sometimes, You Wonder About a Purpose

Hello, Karstuhl here!

Sometimes, I write my blog entries on Daniel’s Ipad. It has a touch screen with the letters, and if you touch a certain square, you get special signs. One of these signs is kr. I wonder who came up with the idea that, instead of just typing a k followed by an r, you could chose special signs and type kr. The result is the same and there are an equal amount of touches on the touch screen. If you want to erase the special sign kr, you also have to touch backspace twice, so itis not one sign, but the two signs k and r.

Computer programmers are funny sometimes. This is one of those times. I refuse to believe any other reason for the special sign kr, than that it was funny to have it there.
