On Swedish versions of Word find is moved to Ctrl+b since the word for bold starts with an f. Can get very annoying when mixing versions.

- xorcist 12y agoThat would be a great question for Raymond Chen! I wonder whoever thought that was a good idea. Anyone who uses a localized Word version is likely to use an English one as well sometime, and the hot keys are completely messed up. For bonus points, ask about the localized Excel formulas. And date formats! That is so brain freezingly stupid I can not for my life comprehend it. It causes no end of trouble when moving data between versions.
