I have just looked up Edward II

EDWARD II 1307 - deposed 1327
Edward was a weak and incompetent king. He had many 'favourites', Piers Gaveston being the most notorious. He was beaten by the Scots at the Battle of Bannockburn in 1314. Edward was deposed and held captive in Berkeley Castle in Gloucestershire. His wife joined her lover Mortimer in deposing him: by their orders he was murdered in Berkley Castle - so legend has it, by having a red-hot poker thrust up his anus! His beautiful tomb in Gloucester Cathedral was erected by his son, Edward III.

The typewriter was invented by Hungarian immigrant Qwert Yuiop, who left his "signature" on the keyboard.

Incorrect, the first typewriters where simple ABCDEF affairs, however when typing past 10 or so words per minuite you would strike keys raising the shoes before the others had returned causing OMFG MECHANICAL JAM.

Hence the qwerty layout, its designed to both slow you down and allow the most common letters to get the hell outa the way before you follow up with your next keypress.

After computers came into popular usage, layouts exploded to increase efficiency and ergonomics (its a nightmare coding at speeds of 120wpm or more on a QWERTY in comparison to a Dvorak or specialist coder layout) ive been using the ARENSITO layout on a kinesis keyboard since 2002 and i love it, even wound up forking out for the 3xfootpedal setup so:
space is equivelent to CLUTCH,
shift is BRAKE,
backspace equates to ACCELERATE.

best 175 quid ive ever dropped in my life (keyboard and pedals), my wrists took years of punishment from "emacs pinkey." the downside is that i now rest my foot on the clutch of my car...

The longest word you can type on the topmost row of a QWERTY layout is TYPEWRITER
