Why are letters on an English keyboard arrange so

strangely? The frequently used letter A is on far left,

while rarely used J and K is near the middle. It

has estimated that the left hand, which is most

peopl's weaker one, does over 50% of the work. One

theory is that this was designed to slow down 19th

century typists such that they would not jam keys.

Whatever its original, it is probably here to stay; the

cost of changing almost the world's computer

keyboards cannot imagine.
