Talk:Home row

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

What is the largest word that can be typed using only the home row?

Possibly the word "haggadahs," from this simple anagram finder. Rmaus 14:32, 27 May 2007 (UTC)

What's the deal with the part about the dildo? I fail to see how that connects to being "home row" 129.244.244.160 23:41, 27 January 2007 (UTC)!

[edit] What Actually is Home Row?

Everyone says home row is "asdfghjkl;", right? And the definition of home row is the place where your fingers are on the keyboard when they aren't being used. Well then; what fingers, exactly, are on the "gh" keys? And don't tell me the thumbs. Unless there are objections later on, I'll use dictionary.com as a reference and say the keys are "asdf" and "jkl;". --76.188.148.173 03:38, 19 August 2007 (UTC)

I'm not saying that's wrong, but if it is the case, then that means the first sentence of the article is wrong. ""Home row" is a term that refers to the center row of alphabetical letters on a typewriter or computer keyboard." If it is only asdfjkl;, then that's not the entire centre row. Also, I presume "alphabetical letters" means the letters a-z; if so, then ; wouldn't be part of it either. Finally, checking the three keyboards in my house, the centre row also has the ' (apostrophe) and # (hash) keys. So depending on which definition is used, something needs changing. --81.152.100.212 19:38, 19 August 2007 (UTC).

I'll see if I can change the wording. --76.188.148.173 22:08, 19 August 2007 (UTC)
