Qwerty QWERTY is not the name of a new technology or style of keyboard. It just describes how the keys are laid out on an English-style typewriter above the left hand of the "home row" for touch typists. Since the letters could be pronounced like a word, it has been used at least since I...

It sounds like your family and friends don't know the meaning of terms like apraxia and aphasia. You may need to clue them in. be well -AH
