    Maybe you accidentally installed it through Google toolbar or something? Google desktop agent is a disastrous piece of software. It comes installed by default on Windows PCs from Dell - I've had calls from family and neighbours on three different new Dell computers about their system being unusable and each time I found Google Desktop responsible - a quick uninstall fixes everything.

    In fairness to the OP, that was not txt spk... looks like a dodgy keyboard.

    if this is a case of txt spk, could we have less of this please.....see charter

    However, i'm prepared to accept there may be other reasons for the continuously fragmented posts by the OP. Could we leave out the mockery please....!

    I actually seem to be having missing letters when I post on my Macbook, only started happening a month ago (7 month old computer). It's quite annoying, I don't think it's me not hitting the keys correctly (but of course it could be).

    Just thought I'd mention that!

    I concur with this tbh. For reasons that don't need to be mentioned here, but I think a little tolerance is called for.
