I’m thankful for Keyboard Characters because there are more
of them than letters. This also includes numbers, keyboard characters
themselves (and represented twice; cred.) Some may argue
they stand alone, but even combined with letters, they would be outnumbered by the
characters. While you actually stopped to count to make sure I was right, the
keyboard characters slew all of the letters, A-Z, and now the numbers have no
choice but to join. Not so smart now, are you? Readers who kept the faith, feel
free to add yourself to the keyboard as a symbol; you've been granted
immortality. But in all honesty, even the letters are characters, so the number
grows and grows, so much that they had to add an Alt key just to make room for
even more. I had originally intended to do a blog entry discussing why I was so
thankful for each and every one, but I personally feel they form like Voltron
and should not be separated. Without them, I’d have no reason to be on here,
and neither would you. We rule.
My favorite thing about reading the Antisocial

is its use of characters. – Carl Sagan
