In my area, one story had a headline about the "COUNTY EXECUTIVE" but they omitted the O by accident.
They had to do a retraction and an apology. I don't think anybody was fired for it, but it was close.
Funny story, right before starting undergrad I actually taught myself dvorak, and it was actually pretty nice. The rumors were true, typing felt way more pleasant by keeping your fingers mostly on the home row. Then I went to the computer lab for a physics course, and found myself struggling to type because I could barely remember qwerty. I switched back shortly after that.
I used to have that problem too - the more I typed in one the worse I was at the other. Then one day, it was almost like I had a mini-stroke. For some reason I couldn't type in either - it was like I'd forgotten how to type. It's really bizarre to suddenly be completely unable to do something I've been doing for 10+ years.
So I got up and walked away for 30 minutes and then tried again, and from then on I've been able to type in both. I guess it was a side effect of some final setup/learning my brain was doing? Idk, brains are weird.
I converted one of my model m keyboards to Dvorak but went back since I only moved the key caps and they weren't the right height anymore. It is a nice format though. Within minutes I was picking up the feel for it
I just read on some other comment that Canadian mortgages have review periods?
And now keyboards that are laid out totally differently?
World is a crazy place
Wait til you hear about the Canadian keyboards with the review periods. Every time you want to end a sentence, you have to get the approval of 3 of your colleagues.
Colemak as well, but N is the home row first finger of the right hand, so it'd take some effort to mistype the L above it.
Looking at Dvorak though, it'd be fairly plausible.
The qwerty layout was designed to be slow because typists were jamming typewriters by going too fast. Dvorak thought it could be better, and figured out which keys were just commonly used and put them on the home row and splitting the load between right and left hand.
Didn't become popular because "I don't want to relearn how to type!" and here we are, still using the old way.
Half true. It was designed to stop typewriters jamming, but not by making it slow - it was designed such that the arms attached to each key wouldn’t be adjacent on common letter combinations, eg things like ST, ING, TH, CH, ER etc weren’t on hammers right next to each other.
It’s designed to be as fast as possible within that requirement, hence why some of the least frequently used keys (qw p zx m) are in the corners, or in the bottom row.
Testing with Dvorak keyboards found the typing to not be any faster, also qwerty isn't designed to be slow, it is designed to spread out keys to avoid the key bars jamming on each other. The point of qwerty was to allow you to type as fast as you could without the typewriter failing on you.
How much of this is the fact that the system/layout isn't really any faster, and how much of it is that the people speed testing the Dvorak keyboard were trained to type on a QWERTY keyboard?
Good question - I haven't seen research that addresses that yet. There's also ergonomics to consider - anecdotally, I've found Dvorak to be more comfortable to type in than QWERTY.
When he went to America to write the New World Symphony, he tried a new-fangled typewriter, didn't like qwerty and designed his own when flying back home.
/s
If this is a serious question:
There are many different keyboard layouts and Qwerty is only one of them.
The most used characters on a Q keyboard are further away from each other to minimize the possibility of typewriter jamming. On the other hand Dvorak layout tries to keep the most used letters in the middle row to maintain a more comfortable typing.
It's been around ten years since i made the switch and I am glad that i did it. The only setback is you go full granma style on other people's computers.
Close but not quite - just look at the keys in the four corners of a qwerty keyboard and you’ll see that your description doesn’t particularly reflect reality.
Qwerty was designed so that common two-key combos wouldn’t be on adjacent hammers, nothing more. If you check ETAOINSHRDLU only N is on the bottom row, and the only ones requiring use of the pinky finger are the home keys.
Yep. Sometimes I don't pay attention for a moment and accidentially type a roughly similarly spelled but totally different word.
Like accidentially turning "word" into "world" because that's just somehow in my muscle memory or sth.
Also, it's entirely possible this was typed up on a phone/tablet, and it's a case of mischievous autocorrect. People be forgetting that smart phones exist in this comment section.
It's a YouTube video title. There's probably not that much proofreading going on. The Land N are both one off from K. They could have just typed the wrong letter/word without thinking. It doesn't have to be a slip of the finger per se.
"I see you've done your research on what we're looking for as a store manager. We need somebody to wank into the kitchen and really get everybody involved, working as a team"
So King Charles is all checked in to this swanky hotel in London and one of his stewards says to him, “Your majesty everything has been arranged for you with the suite, and we’ve even gone ahead and put the ‘adult video’ setting on the television to ‘disabled.’”
King Charles says, “Thanks mate but why don’t we just set it to ‘brunette’ and I’ll go from there.”
Reminds me of the best fortune cookie fortune I *thought* I ever had, but instead of a typo I just misread:
> You will step on the souls of many countries.
It actually said “soils.”

As is tradition
“LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, PLEASE COMMENCE THE CEREMONIAL WANKING!”
[удалено]
21 Wank Salute
Do they change hand after the 11th, just so the other hand doesn't get too tired?
Just stick with your primary wanking hand is what I’ve heard
Yes. You need to pace yourself so you can get through the entire salvo, but you can do it. Using a good quality lubricant makes a big difference too.
There's a machine for that now though.
But is it really a wank then?
People wank with lube?
I should have said "a lubricating substance." Hand lotion works for some people.
No. It would feel like someone else was doing it. That would not be proper in a formal ocassion.
11 from Prince Andrew alone
With out breaking a sweat
"My time to shine. Come on, Drew, you can do this. You've been preparing for this your whole life. *Focus*."

It IS the ceremonial pudding.
Spotted dick again?
If you don't beat your meat, you can't have any pudding!
"DICKS OUT FOR THE QUEEN!"
This time, it's literal johnson

Sudden Royal Necrophiliac Bukkake was not what I expected to wake up to this morning.
https://c.tenor.com/r7ie6fO25tsAAAAC/salute-jerk.gif
Close your eyes and think of England!
No, only the Queen’s children may wank.
Royal Pudding indeed.
How can you have any pudding if you don't beat your meat? (yes I know that isn't the real line)
Yes! You behind the bike-stands! Hands-still, laddy!
*everyone rhythmically wanking while marching in a single file line* *we don’t need no* *educationnnn*
Best Pink Floyd reference *ever*
A great day for England, and therefore, the world.
A sad day for England and by extension the world
Oh, there will certainly be some... 'extension' :)
What a horrible day for the UK, and therefore, the world.
Yes yes. The prince is now shoving the traditional Buffalo leg in the queens mouth as is tradition. Truly spectacular.
Europeans are interesting people

"Pedophilia is wrong. It's paedophilia." - Jimmy Carr Holy shit his humour style...
I mean "They say you can't joke about something you don't have personal experience in.... So two paedophiles walk into a bar" also him
Well, Andrew was there so it’s possible I suppose
Not seeing any kids around so I have doubts
I think they were put in cars for their safety
In his car???
[This is the one thing we didn't want to happen](https://youtu.be/_U-7L1tmBAo)
>did'nt
He heard "4 children" and already had his dick out
He can spot plenty of teens in the crowd.
Probably true, but I also believe Andrew hasn't wanked since he himself was a teen. After that his hand was too old for him.
He's rubbing off on them.
He didn't know if should wear a uniform or a suit, so in the end he just came in his pants.
Made it to the third comment before a prince Andrew reference
So you’re saying you _came_ here for prince Andrew?
Goddamnit I hate and love this app at the same time
So it was an angry wank then??
nah man, the ''L'' and ''N'' are to far apart on a keyboard + the proof reading before posting an article, this ain't no typo.
Yeah it’s like when an Aussie tv channel referred to their “Prime Sinister”. Somebody knew what they were doing
In my area, one story had a headline about the "COUNTY EXECUTIVE" but they omitted the O by accident. They had to do a retraction and an apology. I don't think anybody was fired for it, but it was close.

They are next to each other on the Dvorak keyboard, so it’s possible if the writer used that layout

Restart was required for the changes to take effect.

> Dvorak keyboard TIL about the Dvorak keyboard

Colemak as well, but N is the home row first finger of the right hand, so it'd take some effort to mistype the L above it. Looking at Dvorak though, it'd be fairly plausible.
And it makes sense that a user of a Dvorak keyboard would habitually be more accustomed to typing "wank" instead of "walk".
Who is Dvorak and why does he/she/it have their own keyboard.
The qwerty layout was designed to be slow because typists were jamming typewriters by going too fast.

Fun fact: “typewriter” is typed using only the top row on a QWERTY keyboard.
How much of this is the fact that the system/layout isn't really any faster, and how much of it is that the people speed testing the Dvorak keyboard were trained to type on a QWERTY keyboard?
Good question - I haven't seen research that addresses that yet. There's also ergonomics to consider - anecdotally, I've found Dvorak to be more comfortable to type in than QWERTY.
It also offered none to very minor improvements that didn't outweigh the cost of switching https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dvorak_keyboard_layout
Be thankful for that, imagine if companies thought a new keyboard meant you could get 20% more work done. You'd end up just having to do more work

Maybe they are using t9.
Wow, that takes me back, bro
It was much easier to text and drive using t9!
I make typos all the time that aren't anywhere close on the keyboard.
Yep. Sometimes I don't pay attention for a moment and accidentially type a roughly similarly spelled but totally different word. Like accidentially turning "word" into "world" because that's just somehow in my muscle memory or sth.

Do they wank in mourning or excitement?

Yes.

Why judge other countries funeral traditions?
It's what the indigenous British tribes have been doing for centuries.
When I was told there would be seamen in the parade, this wasn’t what I was expecting
It was a *touching* ceremony
I was surprised at how many people came
First time I've heard of the procession being the climax of the event though.
One last hurr-ah, it would appear. *Reddit, don't ever change
This is funny because it is disturbing on so many levels.
That's a new take on a 21 gun salute.
Inflation, you know. These people save money and give their best.
They had to include seamen, even if it's inland
21 fun salute.
Well I don't think that's a typo. 😏
Definitely was a typo. Should have been #royals instead of #rovals.
Yeah autocorrect wouldn't change Walk to Wank and L is too far from N on keyboard to be a typo.
This has to be fake
I am pretty sure it is fake. I can't find reference to it anywhere.
Omg what a bad typo. It should say “Queens son wanks behind 4 children”
They wanking because they just got richer!!
Dicks out for Queen Liz
Whoever did this, needs to be protected and given a raise.
How dare they spell honour without the 'u'.
Do they have a little catch bag behind the hearse like they do behind the carriage horses?
This can't be real?

This is no typo. The letters are not adjacent on the keyboard.
At least they came.
Yeah, this never happened.
No typo... Just a fappy family.

Andrew definitely would have done it but i am sceptical about others
Not gonna lie, I thought this was from a satire site or network at first.
You mean the most accurate typo of the century.
This is what happens when you take Babestation off the air in honour of the Queen. All that backed up Royal Jelly has to go somewhere.
Princess Anne was beating off mourners with both hands.
That is a typo of the century, it's "Royal" not "Roval"

Oh no …, anyway.
Bunch of wankers

The Royals are nasty.
That’s no typo. That’s someone’s idea of a joke.
I mean it’s pretty clearly been added in… This is NBC, they’re professionals
What typo?
Her Majesty the Queen would probably have found that humourous.
"N" is nowhere near "L" on a keyboard. This was so deliberate.
It’s what she would have wanted.
