# ah you're correct
but there are still meant to be semi-colons in that, as the scheme is to use all four home keys plus the one on the inside of the index finger key

parp.

# home keys?

# F and J
where your index fingers lie when you're touch typing (the ones with dimples)

but maybe they're not called home keys. i like to invent my own terms.

# In the old days,
people were taught to type...

The home keys were the keys that your fingers were on when "at rest".

You spent hours typing thing like "sad dad fad gag jaf kal..." without looking.

Everything you typed was outputted on a piece of "paper" that was printed as you typed.
You had no delete, no Control-Z, not even a monitor. You couldn't even read what you had just written until the line was finished...

At which point, your left hand rose up & moved a lever that pushed the "printer" back to the right.

You had to push the keys in an inch or so as well...

# do you really think recpak cared about such things?
do you not think he just hit random keys. you're generalising on the basis of one example, and so i am equally likely to be right.
