I'm K! I'm here to stay!

Since we got back from Christmas, I've noticed that the "k" key on my laptop has been acting up. Specifically, when I rest my hands on my keyboard I often notice that the word kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk has appeared on the screen. Does my "k" key have issues? Is it lonely? Does it worry that I don't use it often enough? These days when I send an email, write a blog post, or do any kind of writing, for that matter, I have to pay particular attention to the screen so that I don't inadvertently insert a million "k"s. (You try to pluralize k, then. I opted for the quotation mark approach, lest people think I was trying to abbreviate Kansas.) I try, in other words, not to appear as if I had Written Tourette Syndrome (WTS), one symptom of which is inserting a random K! into one's typing. kk. *sigh* Clearly the only prescription is to somehow replace the old "k" key with a new one, but I just can't be bothered. Instead, I'll just say: ignore any randomly inserted letters. Act as if they don't exist, because any sort of attention will only egg them on. Right now I'm hoping the damage is contained to the "k" key and that it hasn't spread, say, to "l".
