There is something called ALT codes. For example to correctly write in spanish the word for "he" the alt code is 0201. Press alt 0201 returns É (Él)
Press alt 0128 returns €
The ALT codes can be used for the French, German, Italian, Portuguese and Spanish languages only.
This also brings up another question. How many of you speak and write in a language other than English and standard notation...lol

ALT codes have been around a long time. Your multilingual abilities will be very useful here  Me? I mainly speak three languages: USA English, English English, and Australian English. Well OK, and a very little Mandarin, Italian, Greek and Malaysian, but I am proficient mostly in those three main English languages.

I know notation pretty well - I’ve made money from it for 50 years. Do computer languages count?

Not so much for for LISP programming...lol On a less funny note I was looking at some of the vexations of the many types of less than standard notation...I would need more than 50 years to learn all that!!

Shoot... that ain't nothin'......
True story..... your phone is listening to you.
I stopped at a convenient store, went in and picked up a Heath Candy bar. Back in the car, my wife asked why I bought it... I said, I've always liked HEATH CANDY BARS and just felt like having one. End of story? not quite.
The very next day, what do you think Google ads pushed into my news feed? If you guessed HEATH CANDY BARS.... well, you'd be exactly right. I mean what is the chance of that happening by coincidence?
You can find my music at: www.herbhartley.comAdd nothing that adds nothing to the music. You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both. The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.

Interesting. Did you pay with a credit card? (Since Covid I will not handle money. Even if I go into a Dollar Tree and spend 1 dollar I pay with a credit card. And please nobody say I am paying interest on a dollar. I pay to $0 as soon as things post and don't see interest charges.) Step 2 is to shut off your phone before you get to the store and leave it off. Buy a Hershey bar (with almonds!) this time but never say Hershey even after you turn the phone back on. I see this claim A LOT but nobody will ever test the theory, and I have never had this happen to me. I mean, logic would say that if you drive through Arby's and get curly fries your phone would hear you order them. so this would happen for every product you mention when you have your phone with you. Alexa and Echo devices keep your commands in a file but A) you can erase them at the end of every day and B) do you really think it is intrusive that some ear in the sky knows you turned your lights on or off? I don't understand the outrage people have about this kind of thing. I always dismiss it as either people who don't understand technology and the internet, or are just mad and want to have something to complain about.
SO much of this is about perspective. Let's just say you are out on a search and rescue event. You have a heart attack and fall into a ravine or something extreme like that. In that circumstance I WANT my phone's location services to allow someone to track my location. (Just FYI the location services on my phone are OFF just because it saves one drib and 2 drabs of power.)
So I'd be really interested in investigating what caused the ear in the sky to know about your Heath bars. Because to further apply logic, if you sit and watch TV with your phone nearby, logic says that if your phone is listening you should get email from every company that advertises. And that may be the case. I don't know. I can only say that in my observation it is not that extreme. If the world knows to send you ads because you paid with a credit card, that's a whole new hallway to travel down.
I love puzzles like this!

My sister and niece were talking about boxes. In person. Nothing exceptional.
Next day, their feeds were full of different boxes they may like.
The phone is too nosy.

Deb, can you tell me how you are defining "feed"? Facebook, Twitter, web based email like mail.com and juno and such that rely on ads to stay free, your local newspaper, anything with a paywall? All of the above? I have so many ad blockers running in my browser that I don't see a lot of ads. And maybe I don't have the same grasp on this because I don't see them. I see SO many people complain about ads interrupting videos on youtube. I have never seen one. I DO get targeted ads once I have browsed for something, but that's mainly because Google and Facebook are evil corporations that survive on greed. When I was looking at Jazzmasters I saw them on Facebook forever, so apparently Sweetwater pays Facebook well to slam their ads once you have visited. And I am not going to delete cookies every 45 seconds because some (most) cookies I don't care about. And to go through and clear just selected cookies would be a full time job, so whatever. Ads can be there. I can ignore them. I learned that skill from 3 wives who ignored me for a collective 13 1/2 years.

Well OK, and a very little Mandarin, Italian, Greek and Malaysian, but I am proficient mostly in those three main English languages. You forgot Canadian English! I speak Mexican (food). I speak Italian (food). I speak German (food). I speak all of those, as well as Canadian (food) because I'm sure you'll all agree that poutine is delicious. Realistically, I pretty well only speak English (preferably English English as I've got triple citizenship for Canada, England, and Ireland), though I can read enough French to get by. I took some Spanish in high school as well, but I don't remember enough of it to be useful.
I work here

Facebook and email. My sister limits what she is using. Not sure about her daughter. They thought it was odd because they were talking about boxes not searching for any.
I do know that recently I searched for something nice for baby shower I went to. I then spent a lot of time getting emails for cute baby clothes, toys, etc. Same for Facebook.

The big learning here is that these products are not your friend. You are their friend. They don't provide all these "free services" for nothing. They get paid clearly. Look at the wealth of Google, Facebook etc.
Yes, they like you more than you actually know.

I am not sure I understand all the drama over facebook or anyone tracking what I do. I am in south Florida and I can send you the GPS coordinates if you would like to have them...lol I don't buy anything based on ads on the internet or TV or Radio. My banking information is in my head, not on my computer. I am well aware of the extent corporate America's consistent pressure to sell me the three legal drugs, tobacco, alcohol, and sugar. I was able to stop the first two...still working on the sugar thing...lol I am not wanted by the legal system, my life is more or less an open book, anything anyone wants to know just ask. All my X's live in Texas so I feel pretty safe...lol I would be very happy for Facebook to send me ads for stuff I actually want and am looking to buy. They are way behind the curve with me. They send me ads for stuff I have already bought. They are certainly not smart enough to know that my electric pencil sharpener has failed and I need to order another one. Most people would not understand why I logged onto the last 500 web sites. Pretty boring stuff. Dental cost in Romania??? Who would have an interest in that information? Only other dental companies in other parts of the world. They sent me ads but I had done my homework and found one the most modern clinics in the world in Romania and saved myself about $10,000 for dental work for my wife. I mean this is fascinating stuff right...my spending habits and whereabouts Jezz...give me a break. I am going downstairs for another cup of coffee if anyone has an interest in tracking my movements. Be advised if you are going to listen in on all the audio at my house I curse a lot in several different languages, mostly at the TV...lol Billy John Prine-Illegal smile Well, I sat down in my closet with all my overalls Tryin' to get away from all the ears inside my walls I dreamed the police heard everything I thought, what then? Well I went to court and the judge's name was Hoffman...lol...lol https://youtu.be/CDrdD3wrVqQ

Living in the UK I obviously do UK english along with US, Canadian and Australian english. Being a pretty small island what we do have is a lot of dialects, often only 20 miles or so apart. Understanding some of the broader dialects is not easy even for a Brit.
