tealinSome things I have learned about the configuration of keys on a Qwerty keyboard:
If your aim is off by one letter, you can change the tense of a verb. E.g: smokes becomes smoked. There was a more humourous example of this, which I discovered one day while talking to a colleague, but I've forgotten it. Curses.
If you set out to write Buddhist and miss the B, you can get Nuddhist.
Do you have any amusing keyboard accidents to report?
