> I've had to use so many different layouts of keys (not even counting non-US keyboards), that touch typing wouldn't have helped me much.

Same here. I use a Mac for work and have more than one PC for leisure. All the keyboards are different. Plus I have some wireless keyboards I use occasionally. They're different again.

If I'd learnt to touch type on the first computer I ever programmed on it would have been particularly useless for the future (Sharp MZ-80K). Plus, try to touch type on a ZX81, I dare you.

Oh, they do. Problem being that tends to be exclusively what they are doing (until they look at their phone, of course) when they should also be looking where everybody else in the immediate vicinity is going. You're lucky if they even bother looking where they've been.

And that would derive from Latin, where the active verb appears at the end of the sentence. People forget (or never knew) this, which is why the "Harold got shot in the eye" belief from the Bayeux Tapestry gained hold because "Haroldus" was above someone suffering from sudden ocular disability, whereas Harold himself was being shown cut down by a swordsman below the verb "est".
