The modern keyboard includes a jumbled arrangement of letters. This arrangement is often referred to as "QWERTY" since that the order of the first six letter keys on the upper-left of the keyboard. The fingers of the left hand are intended to be placed on the A S D and F. This positioning assigns the left hand to all of the following letters: Q W E R T A S D F G Z X C V B. These letters can be used to spell a variety of long words including:
- abracadabra
- aftereffects
- aftertastes
- afterwards
- cabbages
- crabgrasses
- databases
- desegregated
- gazettes
- readdressed
- reverberated
- stagecraft
- steadfast
- stewardesses
- sweetbreads
- tradecrafts
- vertebrates
- wastewaters
- watercrafts
- watercress
Who cares? In addition to being fun to type, this interesting keyboard oddity can have the following benefit: since most right handed people use their right hand for a pointing device (mouse, touchpad etc.), their left hand is free to remain on the keyboard when doing computer tasks. This makes the list above a great list to use when choosing usernames or passwords - remember to always inject a few numbers into your passwords to prevent them from being 'cracked'. Note that the five numbers 1 2 3 4 5 accessible by the left hand are a perfect accompaniment to left-handed usernames/passwords. Before selecting a password, however, you may want to read this excellent guide on choosing passwords.
There are fewer long right-handed keyboard words. Right-handed keyboard words can only include the following letters: Y U I O P H J K L N M:
- hokypoky
- lollipop
- minimill
- monohull
- monopoly
- polyphony

Exaggerated, exaggerates, etc. Eleven each. Also, "et cetera" is 8. Not bad! |

safeway is not a word that can be typed with just the left hand. The "Y" requires the index finger of the right hand, is typed correctly. |

Afterwards, a few exacerbated stewardesses ate a few sweet watercresses. |

Other good one's are "exacerbated" (11) for the left and "monophony" (9) for the right. |

"DESECRATED" is a pretty decent ten letter word for the lefties.... ;) |
