Great site alexis!! Thank you for sharing.
I did go to the semantic enigmas page and though I dont know about why the letters are arranged so on a computer keyboard, I might have something on the old typewriters. I do believe I learnt about 'etaoin shrdlu' (hi eta!) in the Phrontistery site (or was it Quinion?). The old typesetters had the letters arranged as 'etaoin shrdlu' because these letters were the most commonly used letters in the language. And now, the phrase translates into gobbledygook.
