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
