gollark: I suppose they could be gathering data on that. It sounds like something Microsoft might do.
gollark: Oh, that, they're obviously going to log that.
gollark: What information can they actually measure regarding that? Mouse movements or something?
gollark: It *might* allow somewhat faster typing (this is pretty disputed, and the claim that QWERTY is designed to slow you down is inaccurate; as far as I know it was actually designed to spread out frequently pressed keys on the keyboard to prevent jamming), but all my stuff is configured for QWERTY, everyone *else's* stuff (which I may have to use) also is, and it would take a lot of effort to learn it.
gollark: People talk about DVORAK a nonzero amount, but I use QWERTY on everything because I don't see a significant benefit to switching.
