Question Mark (shift + /) doesn't work! But / does!

Hey, I am a noob to these forums but I joined to ask this question, hopefully someone else has had the same problem. I cannot type a question mark! The button is not broken because / works - and the shift key works for every other keyboard function. I have tried both shift keys and neither of them allow me to type a question mark. This is a problem - right now I have to resort to copying and pasting question marks when I need them .. which is quite often..
Thanks for your help,

I have the same problem with the shift key, except that it doesn't work for any of the other keys either. I can't get !"£$%^&*()_+? without using my wireless keyboard. the large Enter key doesn't work either. my MBP is only 4 months old.

Open the Speech pane of System Preferences and check whether either the listening key or the speech key has become set to that keystroke; if so, change the setting.

Hey there,

Same here. When I firts bought my Mac mini, I accidently bought a german keyboard instead of a qwerty. So I thought that it was just that keyboard.
But I just got the new flat keyboard, which is qwerty. But still no question mark on the shift+/ command.

I checked the speech key command settings, but without succes.

So, any other suggestions.
Thanks...
