Q W E R T Y
Apart from the fact that relatively unskilled typewriter salesmen could type the word 'typewriter' using the top line only, the keyboard your present interlocutor is tapping to create this missive is mixed up the way it is – vis à vis: QWERTY, is to confuse and so slow down typists in the Olden Daze. Thus preventing a traffic jam at the printing point from a build-up of the individual character arms, that flew about with such vim on those old lever-action typewriters.
And now of course it’s too late to change.
