If you want to have a greater understanding and appreciation of vowels in the English language, just pick one at random and remove it from your keyboard. Then go ahead and type something, an email, a instant message, a post on your blog, and you'll have an epiphany, albeit a frustrating one, about the relative importance of AEIOU (and sometimes Y) in our odd language.

I for one have had this epiphany, because for the last few days, the O on my keyboard sticks so I have to jam down on the key to get it to work properly, and mind you, this is a new computer, and no, I haven't spilt a soda on it, and no, the kittens are not allowed to strut on it. I just had to do a complete restore because the factory settings on the computer were all fucked up. Prior to that, there was a problem with the K. Now it's the O. I don't want to do another restore only to lose functionality in another random key. I just want a computer that works. Is that too much to ask?
