my belief is that most people attribute ergonomics and improved typing ability to the new alternative layout they learned instead of the fact that they finally learned how to type properly
Not in my case. I first learned to type properly on Qwerty.
I found Dvorak to be significantly worse than QWERTY in both speed and comfort, seeing as Dvorak is more heavily biased towards the right hand and I am left hand dominant
I'm going to need to see some proof for that assertion. Just going off the top of my head, I'd say I type far more with my left hand than my right using Dvorak.
>Not in my case. I first learned to type properly on Qwerty.
I'll take you at your word, but most people I see claim this have extremely poor typing habits. Similar to a self-taught musician who ingrained poor habits because they never had anyone around to correct them.
>I'm going to need to see some proof for that assertion. Just going off the top of my head, I'd say I type far more with my left hand than my right using Dvorak.
Sure thing. Summing the frequencies in the English language and applying it to the keyboard layouts gives:

Sure thing. Summing the frequencies in the English language and applying it to the keyboard layouts gives:
Dvorak: Left 43.2%, Right 56.8%
QWERTY: Left 58.7%, Right 41.3%
