Qwerty you, I opine!

[lethargic_man]

Following the suggestion of a cow-orker, I have levered the I and O keys off my keyboard and replaced them in the wrong order; also the V and B keys.

The result is quite interesting: When I'm looking away from the keyboard, of course, I can type fine; but when I look at the keys to type (as distinct from touch typing whilst looking at the keys), no matter how well I know where the keys should live, I keep either typing the wrong ones, or at best stopping myself halfway to correcting myself.

I seem to be able to type just fine when looking at my keyboard inspite of the labels almost all being wrong (I type dvorak but the keyboard is labelled in qwerty). Maybe practice helps :)
