Why? Because they used "Gun Wall" instead of "gunwale"?

That is what it means.

Etymology: 1466, gonne walle, or in modern English, gun plank,,,

You need a keyboard with bigger keys!

No, I need one that hasn't got a half cup of Sprite down its gullet.....I
have tried everything I can think of to get them clean but nothing seems
to work and it's a brand new laptop...


The only way to clean it is to take out the keyboard, soak it in water, dry
(completely of course), and reinstall. You could also use some isopropyl,
but you have to be very conservative with it.That might not fix the problem
entirely, but it'll help. I did something similar to my old laptop and it's
working fine except for a single key that tends to be a bit mushy. It's not
easy to do, so you might want to bring it in to a local service place.
They've got the tools to pop it right out. Shouldn't cost all that much.


For a new laptop, a replacement keyboard shouldn't be terribly expensive...
