Trouble with 16f88 UART

[tbsnake2]

Hello. I am trying to use the hardware UART on the pic16F88. The issue seems to be that kbhit continues to find something in the buffer. Pressing a letter "k" returns the following:
"Letter kLetter LLetter e" then the pic freezes here.

#include <16F88.h>
#use delay(clock=38400)
#use rs232(baud=300,parity=N,xmit=PIN_B5,rcv=PIN_B2,bits=8)
#define IRRXPWR PIN_A0
#byte PIR1 = 0x0c
#byte PORTB = 0x06
#byte PORTA = 0x05

void main()
{
int i,j;

set_tris_A (0x21);
set_tris_B (0x47);
setup_adc(ADC_OFF);
setup_comparator(NC_NC_NC_NC);
port_b_pullups(FALSE);
setup_spi(FALSE);
enable_interrupts(GLOBAL);
setup_uart(TRUE);

while(1){
for(i=0; i<100; i++){
if(kbhit()){
j = getc();
delay_ms(300);
printf("Letter %C",j);
delay_ms(300);
}

}
}
}
