Thr’s no ‘ ‘ ky?

The ‘e’ key started sticking during writing  so I ripped it off and shoved another key in its place.

Bizarrely, my replacement key works fines as an ‘e’ AND the ‘e’ key, which I put in the other key’s place also works fine now.

As long as you know it’s the “e” and the computer knows that it’s the “e” I guess that’s all that matters. :)

Be careful, you know how writers can get superstitious. You may very well find yourself popping and swapping keys on every new keyboard you get as part of some strange ritual logic….

:-))) very *nice*

I’ve had to replace a few keys in my time too ;)

My current Keyboard at work looks very similar. Many keys are wiped out.

use more speech recognition. It’s much easier to write – or let say, to speak – books

I have never had any success with speech recognition, even on Windows 7. Maybe about 50% accuracy.

All I know is from the scrabble board – ‘E’ only gets you one point, but there are more of this letter than any other!

I’m missing a ‘5’ on one of my keyboards.  We adapt, don’t we?

Haha!

Yep, very true.

It must have sacrificed the E key just to slow you down a bit and relish your accomplishments……….

I think the real question that needs to be answered is how far did you get before noticing the faulty E key?

Actually the key still worked it was just sticky. I can type pretty fast and because it was stuck it was slowing me down. So I got angry at it.
