Wjhy I hjate the jjjjj

I have an issue with the letter "j." You may be thinking to yourself that is an absurd comment to make. My name does not contain the letter "j." Many great words contain the letter "j" such as joy, juxtaposition, jump, jelly, and a variety of names that begin with "J." Despite the fact that I love to use the word juxtaposition at any possibly appropriate moment, the "j" continues to plague me.

Many eons ago, when I was living in the college dorms the keyboard of my laptop decided to reject the "j" key. I would be typing and the "j" key would go flying across the room. My roommate was always amused at me cursing under my breath at the key that made it impossible to type many words.

Now, that issue lasted a while and then I decided to get a new keyboard. My dad replaced it and everything was hunky dory. I typed words containing the letter "J" to my hearts content and no keys went flying. Then my print screen key disappeared. This wasn't a major concern of mine considering that I don't believe I've ever used the print screen key. Then, I realized that my warranty was almost up, so I decided to have my keyboard replaced again while I didn't have to pay for it.

That's where everything took a turn for the worse. My friend kindly replaced my keyboard for me as I was too afraid I'd break something. As soon as it was "fixed" all hell broke loose. The "j" key was on a mission to make typing anything impossible. Now the key doesn't go flying. It just adds a "j" into whatever I'm typing whenever it pleases. If I am typing and pause too long I'll get jjj. Or, sometimes I'll get a "j" in the middle of random words. Occasionally if I used my computer to input grades, I'll enter things like 10j or 11.jj5. (I actually only typed one of those "j"s on purpose.) My favorite is when I go type in a password and among all the ********** a little innocent letter "J" sneaks it's way in.

In this blog alone I deleted about 15 superfluous letter js. Apparently my keyboard is rebelling and I don't know how to make it stop. I want to blame my keyboard replacer, but he claims it is user error. I disagree, it's probably a faulty keyboard. Nevertheless, I'm just done with all these extra js. It makes editing a nightmare.
