I just bought this keyboard for the Blog's new office. Should I keep it, or return it for a new one?

HA! I couldn't figure it out but Tom spotted it right away. "Can't have too many y's." "This is a way of being more y's."
There's probably going to be more of this all day...
Y thynk you should keep yt.
Eye don't know what you myte do, you could try beeyeng a creatave speller.
that depends, do you ever need to write in the first person?
Haha, depends if the second Y types a Y or an I...
It types as an I. Therefore, I am leaning towards keeping it. It would be tremendous fun for those times we have house guests who want to use my computer to check their email. It really threw me. I had to look at the keyboard on my laptop to figure it out.
keep it, your brain knows where the "I" is anyway. ho ha

If you touch type, no problem. If you're a hunt-and-pecker, maybe you should return it. I love to know the story of how this happened, though. Did they just run out of some keys and use what they had to make their quota?
I mostly touch type (with some peeking). But since this was a new keyboard and I have mostly been typing on a laptop, I had to get oriented and one of the first letters I was typing was an I. The cool thing is that when a Y is used as a vowel, it usually sounds like an I. I have decided to keep it.
As to how this could have happened... Maybe it has to do with the fact that it was made in Chyna.
It's actually kind of interesting that that particular letter is missing. I've heard from Asians who learned English that it's difficult for them to get used to starting sentences with "I" as we so often do. In East Asian languages reference to self is governed by strict rules according to one's relationship with the person being addressed, and use of a first person pronoun is often avoided entirely to avoid causing offense by presumptuously using the wrong one. Starting a sentence by blatantly referring to one's self with a generic "I" can seem startlingly rude to them. Perhaps the assembler of your keyboard found the "I" offensive. ; )
Y'm concerned that the dyrector of a plai Y'm yn doesn't know how to do a symple thyng lyke bui a keiboard. Yymyni crycket!!!
