QWERTY /kwer'tee/ adj.   [from the keycaps at the upper left]    Pertaining to a standard English-language typewriter keyboard    (sometimes called the Sholes keyboard after its inventor), as    opposed to Dvorak or non-US-ASCII layouts or a {space-cadet    keyboard} or APL keyboard.          Historical note: The QWERTY layout is a fine example of a {fossil}.       It is sometimes said that it was designed to slow down the typist,    but this is wrong; it was designed to allow _faster_ typing --    under a constraint now long obsolete.   In early typewriters, fast    typing using nearby type-bars jammed the mechanism.   So Sholes    fiddled the layout to separate the letters of many common digraphs    (he did a far from perfect job, though; `th', `tr', `ed', and `er',    for example, each use two nearby keys).   Also, putting the letters    of `typewriter' on one line allowed it to be typed with particular    speed and accuracy for {demo}s.   The jamming problem was essentially    solved soon afterward by a suitable use of springs, but the keyboard    layout lives on.          The QWERTY keyboard has also spawned some unhelpful economic myths    about how technical standards get and stay established; see    `http://www.reasonmag.com/9606/Fe.QWERTY.html'.       = R =
