Frequently used pairs of letters were separated in an attempt to stop the typebars from intertwining and becoming stuck, thus forcing the typist to manually unstick the typebars and also frequently blotting the document[1]. The home row (ASDFGHJKL) of the QWERTY layout is thought to be a remnant of the old alphabetical layout that QWERTY replaced. QWERTY also attempted to alternate keys between hands, allowing one hand to move into position while the other hand strikes home a key. This sped up both the original double-handed hunt-and-peck technique and the later touch typing technique; however, single-handed words such as stewardesses and monopoly show flaws in the alternation.

i think of the reason being that in case you opt to examine to "touch sort", you placed the little finger of the left hand on A, and the subsequent 3 palms of the left hand on S D F. The fore finger of the main suitable hand is going on the H and the subsequent 3 palms is going on J ok L. attempt it. then you definately have get entry to to all of the keys, with out looking,(with a lot of prepare) i'm specific somebody will inform you if i'm conversing out of my hat.

original type writers were first arranged for speed. they found they would jam.
they rearranged the letters to be more difficult to slow people down so they wouldn't jam as much.
