I could be entirely wrong in what I said which has been known to happen more
often than I am right which probably means I should shut my trap but I do
not know any better. I always thought that the jkl keys where easier to use
but someone told me the h key was where my right index finger should be not
j which I found odd but because things like this are never logical I took it
to be true (odd logic applied here). Plus h is probably used more than ; and
your little finger is still on the ful stop.

I am definitely not a typist.
