History of G, J, U, W, Y

I came across this video about our alphabet that
 I want to share with you. It's very interesting.

Haven't posted as much as I'd like lately because of some health problems with myself and Lynette.  But visiting your blogs is a very enjoyable distraction. I'll try to post more.

    That was interesting John, thanks for posting it! :) I never think of the origins of the actual letters, I'm always interested in the word itself! I hope you and your wife are doing okay health-wise.

    That video is interesting! I don't think about the origins of language much, and it's good to be more aware of these things.

    I hope you and your wife are doing all right, and that your health issues ease up. I'm glad you're still able to get around to blogs to read them; it helps to have a source of distraction when you're not able to get out as much.

Understanding the Introvert

I have to admit it. I'm an introvert and this article explains it best. I need friends as much as anyone but I just find it difficult.  Anyway, I'm better off this way than being with people who are phony and manipulative.  Here is a copy of the article from the "Lifehack" site: http://www.lifehack.org/articles/communication/you-didnt-get-why-you-couldnt-get-along-with-introverts-before-you-read-this-youll-understand-after.html The website is on my list of interesting sites.

QWERTY vs DVORAK Keyboard

I never knew there was a different type of keyboard like DVORAK instead of QWERTY (named after the first six letters on the left of the first row) , at least not in English or similar languages. Chinese has a modified QWERTY keyboard something like: Or maybe this keyboard below is purely Chinese: Back to English:  The video below explains why the QWERTY keyboard is used almost 100% today and some future possibilities.  Not changing my keyboard, it's not worth the effort for me .
