I always run into problems with computer keyboards.I admit, I'm not a touch typist, I'm more like the shoveler, I shovel at the keys in random motions. I also sometimes feel that the space underneath the keys are teeming with billions of germs, and frequently feel the urge to take out the individual keys. So the spacebar on my home computer keyboard didn't work, which made long paper/ proposal writing interesting.
My current office laptop, since yesterday has a sticky V. I never realized how many times we actually use the letter "v" until the key wouldn't budge, and I'd have to hammer at it to get it going.
There's a great David Sedaris article about how the teacher made fun of him for pronouncing S with an ethnic accent, and how he'd find creative ways to avoid uttering s. But try doing the same with a V!
Here are some words on your *ocabulary that requires this effing alphabet: ha*e, indi*idual, *ideo, pro*ide, sa*e (as in my employer), etc etc etc. Rather than acquiesce to the demand, perhaps I'll continue to a*oid using this letter.
Hmm.
