qwerty shmerty!

I read recently that the keyboard layout we use today was invented to slow typists down. So today's post is written entirely on a Dvorak keyboard. As you can imagine, my typing right now is far from fast. I also wonder if learning the Dvorak keyboard will get me all confused when returning to qwerty. But probably not. It's like switching game controls for platform games. A little confusing at first but you quickly adapt.

I also wonder a bit about the validity of this system. I consider the "y" key on the qwerty board no be one of the hardest keys to reach, so you'd think q or x should be there, but they put "f" there instead. "R" also isn't on the home row, but rather above the shaky ring finger. Perhaps I should do a bit more research before devoting too much time too it.

I didn't time it, but this probably took me 20 minutes to write.
