"the letters "ASDFGHJKL" and the semicolon (;) are called the home keys. The home keys A, S, D, F, H, J, K, and L are where the fingers are placed"

I'm kind of curious on the accuracy here.. The first listing lists 10 "Home keys" yet only 8 of them are actually used as home keys and of those 8 someone was apparently taught to type in an unconventional manner. The right hand is off key - J through ; are the common right hand keys. Most keyboards will actually even have raised nubs on the F and J keys to easy in finding the centermost key for each hand.

So are there 10 home keys but 2 of them are ignored? Or is the article just wrong? -- Creol(talk) 06:01, 7 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
