Wordy Wednesday - an explanation

Blog riting ha been quite frutrating for the lat couple of eek.

Translation: blog writing has been quite frustrating for the last couple of weeks.  Do you know how often the letters, w and s are used?  I do, as both keys are no longer working on my laptop. Also gone is the @ symbol, the number 2, though not the x. 

I've figured out a work-around, using an on-screen keyboard for the w. That means moving that option around the screen because I can't access the keyboard depending on the area I'm typing is. (Like this paragraph - couldn't get to the w until this point. Hence, I'm learning to think of alternative wording.

S is easier, sort of, after I enter the first one, I copy (control c) and then use the paste command (control v) as I go along. That doesn't mean I catch them all, and often have to go back and make the necessary revisions. It does seem weird to hit the v key to get an s... Just count the number of times the letter is used in this paragraph alone.

The number 2 is the easiest as I have a separate numeric keypad. But the @ symbol is the bane of my existence. I use it frequently, as the unique character in passwords. I haven't changed any of them yet, but plan to do so as I update them. Do you change your passwords regularly? I try to remember to do so at least once a year...that often becomes twice because I forget the new one. I do have a place to save passwords but occasionally forget to check there before I use the old options too often.

In any event, this is a small thing, even if it is annoying. I have my tablet at my son's to use, and a smaller laptop down south. I can use my phone as well, but find I do more editing on it that the current laptop. I'll wait until spring to determine whether this i a repairable issue or if I need to get another laptop. The small one doesn't have a separate numeric keyboard, and since I do a lot of number keying in my spreadsheets it's almost necessary. Plus the small laptop has a limited memory.

All this to say, if you get ome trange meage from me in your comment ection...you'll kno hy.
