Do I want to know the significance of the R key? (Ctrl+R?)




"You are" = "You're" - Not "Your".  "They are" = "They're" - Not "Their" or "There".  You probably mean "lose" not "loose".  There's no such word as "Alot".

Sounds like johnr's laptop.  R key is broken since he types it so often at the end of his name.

Bet the K F & C keys are worn out on your laptop almost to the point of not working
