yes, the QWERTY keyboard (named for the first six letters on the first row) was designed to be as slow as possilbe. The farther apart the commonly-used keys are, the less likely the typewriter will jam. Dvorak invented a more efficient layout to suit the newer typewriters and, now, computers.
Unless you are writing html code or typing in L337, it is 27 times more efficient.

I am very well, thank you and I'm sorry about the brains.
You will never get them back, though, until i see you. If you would like I can send you a note excusing you from the harder classes.
