World Typing Day (8 January)
Today the world celebrates World Typing Day, where we reflect on the speed, accuracy, and efficiency of typed communication.
This is my double-shot pudding keyboard in QWERTY layout, as invented by Christopher Latham Sholes in 1874 for his new-fangled Type-Writer. I have tried other layouts, including Dvorak, but always come back to this - it's hard to overcome muscle memory.
You might use QWERTZ, AZERTY, ŪGJRMV, ЙЦУКЕН, or another kind for your own language. But they all kicked off from QWERTY's original design and purpose (increase speed and acccuracy, and reduce the chance for typewriter mechanism to become jammed).
