open letter to UI designers

Dear Every UI designer in the English speaking world:

Use a fucking QWERTY keyboard.

Just use it. Please.

In the last week, I've been subjected to keyboards where the keys are in order from A-Z on the following: my Tivo, my Wii (Mario and Sonic Olympic Games), the jukebox at Fibbar's, and my GPS.

Serious, I don't understand. Everyone knows where the keys are on QWERTY. We're 100x faster. It's really hard to type on a weird keyboard where they keys are alphabetical, our brains don't know where to look for them.

Please. Always use a QWERTY keyboard. Or I will hunt you down and gut you like an animal.

Keys in order? Man, that's worse than Dvorak, which at least makes some conceptual sense.
