please tell me someone else is laughing at this too

--- Quote from: ankhtahr on 14 Apr 2013, 15:49 ---I just don't understand why one would want to keep the QWERTY (or in my case the QWERTZ) layout. It's one of the most unergonomic layouts for a keyboard. It was specifically designed to slow down typists and bring the often used keys away from each other, to stop typewriters from jamming. It has absolutely no use today, it is just being kept in use due to it's wide distribution, similarly to the imperial system in the UK and the US.

MYTH!! Well, the first, bolded part. The stuff about keeping the typewriter keys from jamming, that's true. Which is why it allowed for faster typing.
One of my aunts could type dictation on a manual typewriter, 140 wpm, easy.
Frightening woman.
Redball:
When I interviewed someone on the phone for my newspaper, I typed their responses, abbreviating as much as possible (In the 60s, I invented IDK). But sometimes the source would connect the sound of the typing with their vocal response, get a little irritated and ask me to stop typing.
