Comment on Ask HN: Should I teach my kids to type with QWERTY or Dvorak?

Comments

I learnt QWERTY as a kid/teenager in Australia.

Arriving in France 13 years ago I was a bit lost tempoararily with the switch to AZERTY, almost to the point of seeking out a keyboard online to get back to a ‘normal’ keyboard. I stuck it out, though, and soon anything but AZERTY seemed strange and slow - visiting my parents in London and henpicking around their keyboard when I am meant to be ‘the tech-y one’ is always a little amusing.

Go with QWERTY, and if they want to change later they can and will.
