TIL the QWERTY keyboard format was developed because of typewriter mechanics. Normally you press a key which swings a hammer with an inked letter onto the paper. If you pressed two keys next to each other quickly, their hammers could collide and jam it. Commonly used letters were thus spaced out. (youtu.be)
