Advocating Dvorak

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the no-not-the-columnist-who-thinks-i'm-his-nemesis dept.

zeroweb writes "A group of three faithful Dvorak promoters have launched new website at DvZine.org. The big thing here is a Comic (available in print, pdf and html) describing the history of QWERTY and Dvorak, how and why one should make the switch, and real-life stories of the converted. If you are thinking about making the switch, this could push you over the edge. My favorite line: "It could be the difference between working in your garden at 70 or wearing wrist braces at 40." As someone who started wearing wrist braces at 23, I couldn't agree more - I read this comic, changed my keyboard layout and have been happier ever since."

    Serviously, if you want people to use a method or product, give them a name they can pronounce. At least you can say QWERTY. Dvorak, how the heck do you say that if you're not from Russia?

    It's a good thing you type fast, because you typed about twice as much in your post as was necessary. The first half was just you bragging about how fast you could type as a high schooler and how blazingly fast you are now. Tell me, why do you think anyone cares?

    Why the shit do fucking serfs like you feel the need to sign the ends of your worthless fucking posts?

    If by chance you posted something that wasn't completely bereft of value I could see your stupid fucking username right at the top of your shitty post.

    As it stands, all your half-witted signatures accomplish is to affirm your mental retardedness with whoever reads your ill-informed, inconsequential babble.

    Fucking cretin. Stop it.
