A casualty
of the keyboard's asymmetry is the apostrophe, which has no corresponding
key in the half-QWERTY setup. The brackets, plus sign (+), and hyphen
(-) disappear too, unless you use the right side of the keyboard.
And capital letters are tricky. Surprisingly, one thing that isn't
hard is learning Half-QWERTY; somehow your brain triggers the appropriate
finger of your left hand instead of the right. Within 15 minutes,
I could type at 20 wpm if I really concentrated (and didn't need any
apostrophes).
