My hubby had to use my computer the other day and I was sitting by watching tv while he did. I noticed he had stopped typing and I looked over and saw he was searching my keyboard.
I asked, "What ya looking for?"
"The E," he responded.
I leaned over and noticed that the little letter on my E key had worn nearly completely off. "It's the only missing letter."
"There are a couple getting close," he responded as he went back to work.
I looked over again and noticed he was right. Then the next day at work, I noticed that the E key on that keyboard is nearly gone too.
I guess I use E's a lot. But you would think those little letters would hold up better. Apparently I use S and N a lot too, because those look like the next to go. Which is ok, because I type from feel most of the time anyway. But still... It was really funny to see him searching my keyboard. His Mac isn't THAT different. I guess he just doesn't type as much when he's doing his graphic designing :-)
What letters are the most worn off on your keyboard?

My M and N keys are completely gone, R's close and so's E. The others are still pretty readable :)
LOL! I still have all my letters. I wonder if that means I'm not writing as much as I should be?
So strange. I just had my keyboard replaced. It was under warranty still, so it didn't cost. The e,s,n,a and o were worn off. It's an iBook. Love the new keyboard, but it was kind of an honor to see those missing letters. :-)
There's a reason R, S, T, L, N, and E are the most frequently chosen letters on Wheel of Fortune. :)
Oh that's too funny! None are worn off on mine - I looked too while reading your post! the n is a little 'scratched' but that isn't because its been worn off but that Carter got to it! :) Not sure if that's a good thing to admit to or not --- not typing enough????
;)

The A, the S and the D are pretty much gone. And the E is almost gone too.
I did this on my work computer too. I even grooved out the keys - little crescents where my nails rested I guess.
I'm a typing fool!!!!
Hi April,
As a computer scientist, I type all the time, but for different reasons than a writer (and I expect with a marked difference in letters typed [computer programs have a specific structure]).
I've worn off c, n, m, and l pretty significantly and am working on a, s, d, e, and i. Some of the others though barely look touched!

ROFLMAO - hadn't noticed till you posted this, but all of mine are worn off except the ones I use the pinky fingers to hit! Too funny.
I go through computers too fast for the letters to ware off. I drop my laptops and they break, and i buy new ones... lol. Okay, that only happened once.
I got a new laptop recently. On my other laptop, they were almost ALL worn off!
