This reminds me of a funny story that happened in a former company.
One of our sales guys sent an email that was hardly readable because of
too many digits, and was replied to "can't understand...". He then
called over the phone complaining that his keyboard "doesn't work".
Because 'i' generates "1", ... etc. So he can't compose all those
important messages to important people...
It turned out he had accidentally activated the "Fn key" on his notebook...
