Many moons ago, I blogged about a little fun word game I had with a computer keyboard, grep and awk.
Well, a friend of mine (not in England) asked about the 'awerty' keyboard. Ooops! My anglo-centric sensibilities strikes again. I therefore tried to find the longest word possible using only the top line of an 'awerty' keyboard.
The top ten are as follows:
12: propitiatory
12: appropriator
11: proprietary
11: preparatory
11: portraiture
11: perpetrator
11: paratrooper
11: appropriate
10: wiretapper
10: waterpower
Now, how long before my Norwegian friend asks me about Dvorak keyboards...
