Q is for QWERTY keyboard.
The layout was devised and created in the early 1870s by Christopher Sholes, a newspaper editor and printer who lived in Milwaukee.

The post reminds when I started learning typing years back.
And first few keys to learn were:
asdef
wonder why they are in that order?!
Jama I enjoyed your entry. Which is originAl!! It brings back memories of how I practised Qwerty on a manual typewriter. My kids don't go through that shit and picked up typing au naturel.
qwerty - so easy for this non-typist to type! I?'m surprised 2 people used it as well.
Cool- I remember seeing this when I taught myself to type. Great idea for a post!

Two great souls but with just one thought! :-)
Hi jama,
You did your research. Someone else also used this q word. I was told by my typing tutot why the keys were like this, so that the keys don't clash. I was a hopeless typist, I left after a month. I cheat and look at the key board, and I type with two fingers.
like i mentioned on rune's blog i find it remarkable that although i'm a two finger typist i can at least mostly type without looking at the keyboard - mind you trying to text on a mobile is something i simply find impossible.
i forgot to type like when i was using the typewriter last time..
Did you know that if all the letters come off your qwerty keyboard, you can still type (if you're a touch typist) but it is nonetheless challenging to get them all back in the right place? LOL!
Good one for 'Q'!
I didn't know who laid it out, always wonder why it is the way it is. :)
Haha, an impressive piece of fact on keyboard! I never came across this, thanks for sharing!
Neat! Great photo!
