Quote from www.wikipedia.org QWERTY (pronounced /ˈkwɝti/) is the most common modern-day keyboard layout on English-language computer and typewriter keyboards. It takes its name from the first six characters seen in the far left of the keyboard's top first row of letters. The QWERTY design was patented [1] by Christopher Sholes in 1874[2] and sold to Remington in the same year, when it first appeared in typewriters.
