    Because it is a full name. Harry's parents couldn't decide which grandfather they should name him after, so since the first name of both granpas began with S they simply gave him that.

    Your other options are the on-screen keyboard, the character map, or copy and paste. ;)

    No, not Tina Fey. Smack the Pony is British.
