Some letters are typed more often than other, but the keyboard is not properly designed to take advantage of that fact. Early mechanical typewriters would jam when typists typed too fast, so the keys were arranged awkwardly to slow them down. Really.

Then I unquestionably have the Alarm Cat which has a touch loud purr and an demanding kneading habit. the different alarm cat merely punches me interior the face and then the place I used to stay, I had the alarm jet putting out from the airport. there is not any way i will sleep in.
