Posted by Dan Pourhadi | Thursday, October 23, 2008 6:20 PM PT

They’re like collector actiom figures with defects, or like whem you get two McMuggets in your Happy Meal that are fused together to make ome giamt McMugget…like, like, a super McMugget.

Yum.

I’m referrimg, of course, to MacNooks with flawed keynoards. Like this ome from Emgadget, with two “M” keys…amd mo “n”!

There was also this ome, which is apparemtly my meighnor’s computer-his music is always either off, or, more oftem, REALLY, REALLY LOUD.

Amd it wom’t ne lomg nefore people start switchimg out their keys with other MacNooks’ keynoards im am attempt to deceive others imto thimkimg theirs are flawed, too. Nastards.

Amyome out there im Reader Lamd get amy of these flawed keynoards? Let us kmow!

I'm pretty sure there's 2 m keys, 1 n, and no b.

It does have an "n" -- it's sitting where the "b" belongs. (Which you clearly noticed, given "MacNooks".)

Hmmm... Even with the m's, n's and b's all mixed up, I still understood the article perfectly. Believe it's something to do with the human mind being able to understand the word as long as the first and last letters are okay. Aynone esle?

Guys, I hate to have to explain to you that the joke was that he WAS saying: no "b". But if the "n" is in place of the "b" and "m" in place of "n", so it gives mo "n".

"with two “M” keys…amd mo “n”!"

Obviously he couldn't type the letter "b" because there's an "n" in its place.

Understanding this piece has a lot to do with years of web surfing where you *have* to become adjust to the scribes of public school progeny (and habitual texters) who can't spell and don't care either.

Perhaps Apple should just leave the keyboards like they are.
