Some one please give me some advice on why my T key isn'T working. WhaT should I do?

EDIT: I had To borrow anoTher compuTer's keyboard. As you mighT see ThaT I figured ouT ThaT This keyboards T doesn'T work and ThaT only when I hold down shifT wiTh The T key ThaT iT works.

So This Tells me ThaT iT has To be my compuTer. Any ideas?

Hmm: I think you should buy a new keyboard.
When your using windows use "On Screen Keyboard" but i think it's slower then copy'ng and paste'ing 'T'.

You can also use alt+116 or alt+84, in the meanwhile...

I found iT's noT my keyboard. IT's my compuTer. The oTher keyboards do The same Thing.

If I hold shifT wiTh The T key iT works, alThough when I Toggle To caps iT: LOOKS LIKE tHIS.

So The T only works when I hold shifT wiTh iT.

IT's my compuTer, whaT would be making my compuTer acT like This?

Yeah, I agree. I could work all day and never use such a key. Why anyone would really need one is a conundrum. You should use keys around your keyboard more and avoid pressing a key by R or Y. Of course, your words may sound a shade odd if you do, maybe even weird!

Ok, I give up. Building a whole paragraph is hard using no ...

Is this just in Firefox by any chance? FF has this weird bug where sometimes it just stops reading certain keypresses unless you hold down the shift key.

Screw iT. STop Typing, geT ouT of The seaT and Try doing someThing That does noT involve The leTTer T. Like wriTing on paper TableTs, or riding a scooTer. Or waTching Tv. Perhaps Taking a raTher long shower, or even eaTing a nice snack. Tacos and Tamales, or Tea and crumpeTs? See all These ThoughTful ideas I Tossed ouT There? There has To be someThing you can do That doesn'T use a T in iT.
