It's not just the spelling dictionaries - I usually prefer to trust my own
memory - but the GB keyboard has deadkeys that allow accents for french,
italian, spanish etc, and ² ³ € ½ ¾ (those were squared, cubed, euro,
half, three-quarters when they left me...) which are all very useful
day-to-day. Not that I can get them to work properly on this thinkpad 600E,
but usually they are important.
