I've always understood the reason to be that common letter combinations were put far apart in order to slow down typing.why slow down typing,you might?because typewriters were originally mechanical and the keys would jam if you typed to quickly.

The key pad is called "qwerty" keypad because the first 6 letters from the first row is "QWERTY"...

Seriously that keypad is the best, it would have been quite slow and boring if they were in alphabetical order..
i only agree with ur last sentence due to the jamming fact. if considering arrangement, i totally disagree coz we'll all learn it .

& more over, how is jam prevented when typing words like "dirty", "property" and its like...?

You could work on your typing skills, too. It's an easy thing to do. Firstly, try to get the "Mavis Beacon' software and install on your system. Spend some time on the application daily by working out the exercises/games etc. #asdf #;LKJ #HomeKeys.

Re: See Why The Qwerty Keyboard Is Not Arranged Alphabetically by Nobody: 2:12pm On Feb 10, 2016
This explains why I can type very fast because I'm left handed. Can actually type above 90 wpm I.e. ninety words per minute after just about 3 months of practice. cool

You try. Well done. So how will I justify my coming first in class every term while in school?
Re: See Why The Qwerty Keyboard Is Not Arranged Alphabetically by drlaykay(m): 2:41pm On Feb 10, 2016
I don't know which to believe. I once read that the keyboard was arranged by an Hungarian named QWERT YUIOP who invented the modern keyboard. So he stylishly arranged his name on the first role

Who's proficient a typing fast? I'm way too slow for a guy
If you use a phone with qwerty pad, try typing with both hands (left and right thumb) instead of one. It helped me get faster with an actual keyboard because both hands got familiar with the letter arrangement.
