Could someone point me an image that shows what happens from all the buttons of the American keyboard? I just want to know where are your special characters located, like {, [, ], '' and so on.
Anyone with a digital camera? If anyone could take a picture of their keyboard and upload it, please.

Have you heard of a search engine? In less than two minutes I managed to pull the following links up. They may or may not be what you''re looking for, but you could always continue the search. Its a bit faster than the 20 hours+ you''ve been waiting so far.

Gee Brain, what we gonna do tonight?
And bear in mind that Americans don''t have a ''U'' on their keyboards, which is why they spell words like colour and flavour wrongly.

First of all, I searched Google with the following before posting anything here: "us keyboard layout", "american keyboard layout", "us keyboard layout image", "us keyboard layout picture" etc.. I could have actually found it, but it seems I''ve used wrong words. English isn''t my mother tongue anyway.
Second of all, I have time to wait for an appropriate answer.

Moot: I actually like the American way better. Only in spelling cases, though.
Hmm, those American keyboards sure look a lot better than the Swedish ones. Typing in {}[]/ on an American keyboard sure seems a lot easier than on a Swedish one

Uh, dude, just goto any website like dell.com, ibm.com, gateway.com, logitech.com, anything. do you know how common keyboards are? any computer manufacturer will have an image of them.

and don''t bother searching for "us keyboard layout" or anything, just goto onepc.net or any hardware review site, open up the keyboards section, and look at some photos.

Our keyboards are just fine, thanks.... it''s just that we are lazy and cut as many corners as we can.
