Anybody?

No?

'Kay.

 

I'm probably the only one daring enough to start counting in base 12, the same way I started typing on a Colemak keyboard.

 

I'm the weird one, aren't I?

 

Interestingly, I thought about a base 12 metric system and found that if your base unit of measurement was the yard and you used 12^3 as your unit of measurement that's 3 orders of magnitude higher, big distances are now measured in miles (well, slightly shorter miles that are 1728yds and not 1768yds). Looks like a few dozenalists have already came to the same conclusion.

I wouldn't say "daring" but sure.

I'd find it very difficult to type on a different layout, sounds super hard.

 

Weird one in comparison to whom?

Weird in relation to the speculated average. And yes, it took me a while to get used to Colemak, but I have the advantage of being able to comfuzzle the heck out of anyone spying over my shoulder.

No, I wouldn't say so then.

 

Doesn't sound worth it to me.

Been Colemaking for years and it's hard for me to switch back now. Except for phone keyboards; if the only advantage of Qwerty is to space out letters, then using my smartphone to type with is the only place where I find Qwerty useful. Either that or I'm approaching the point where I'm... No one's ever invented a word for being able to type using two keyboard layouts.

I'll try!

I don't know how that expression works to be honest.

 

Is that how it works?

i dunno. XD
