So there's always the debate between QWERTY and alphabetical keyboards, but everyone is missing the obvious way to solve this disagreement.
There's no reason the alphabet HAS to be in that order. It's arbitrary, and English would work almost completely the same if the alphabet was in a different order, you know?
So, let's just put the alphabet in QWERTY order!
It'd solve all our problems from Q to M.

Although really the name should be something like "the cuedoubleyou", since the word "alphabet" comes from alpha + beta, the first two letters of the Greek alphabet.
nobody you care about

@bialpio like, one song. And some early schooling. You'd need to sort stuff differently

@foone why "would work almost completely the same"? What would change?
ko kāihe ahau 🫏 :verified:
@foone @bigzaphod Hex might need a re-work being 0-9+A-F. Or would it… 0-9+Q-Y?

@donkey @bigzaphod good point, hex would change too!

@jamie fun fact: I work in a library! and I do library stuff for a hobby!
so I know exactly how much chaos this would cause, and that's part of why I suggested it :)
