's appear instantly

[HeinekenClock]

aaaaaaaaaaa

When I hit the ' key the ' sign appears immediatly. It used to be so that it wouldn't appear, and you hit "e" right after, it would become an e with an accent. I can't do that now

Well it used to be not like this.
These two: ' and " both didn't appear until you hit another key (space to make it appear as " and a letter to make it a letter with accent).

With some fonts, the ´ (which has this delay, you are talking about) looks the same like ' (which can not be used for accents like É or é)
But they are 2 different keys, you are hitting the wrong key.
Don't use the ' key if you want to make a é or É.

How does one go about adding accent marks to letters?

I've used this laptop for more than a year and so far it's always gone right using the ' key that's left of my enter key. Don't tell me I'm hitting the wrong one, I'm not. I must've accidentally changed some settings.

Hm, maybe you changed tha language settings, try hit alt+shift or ctrl+shift and see if the bahavior changed back to normal.
Are you using winXP?

It has been broken all year and now it's finally repaired itself

Actually I'm not sure if I'm joking. The English language is such a convoluted hodgepodge of stuff it's a wonder it works at all.

I have to agree.  The only thing more convoluted than the language is the spelling.

Boy I don't know how I get along without them.

I use them when typing in Dutch sometimes.

Also, the problem was gone when I went to language setting and set my language to the Dutch package which consists (apparently) of;

English (International)
Dutch.

HÕÃ'RÃ,,Ý!

That's really annoying and I have that too, try either ctrl+shift or alt+shift. That should work. That, or:

Configuratiescherm
Landinstellingen
Toetsenbord en Talen
Toetsenborden wijzigen...

There you can add keyboards and switch between the default and the added ones with alt+shift.

I know but then it switches back when you open another application, with alt+shift that doesn't happen (for me at least).

I just switch to Canadian English with the bar at the bottom. Doesn't really make sense that it's Canadian English, since we use é's about as much as Americans do.
