What with BadStrad's missing h and Anacrusis's w and s being swapped for vv and z.

I know I shouldn't, because it must be really annoying, but it is really making me laugh! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

The missing letter problem could be temporarily cured by copying the missing letter (highlight with mouse) and pressing CTRL V when needed...

Fixed (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) I'd find it really annoying if it were my keyboard! Anacrusis' posts are really making me laugh too (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Keyboard shortcuts aren't much good if your C or V key is broken (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

I think Anacrusis spilled coffee on her keyboard and is having to invent 'new' letters.

And I have to hit the y key and f key really hard at times to get them to work. Not too bad tonight but are sticking at present and of course some of my letters, especially the h and e must be teh the wrong way round since I keep writing teh instead of the amongst other things (or that could just be my really bad touch typing (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) )
