I've often wondered...
Plus, once you learn it, it is much faster than a qwerty board. So you spend less time typing and more time doing important things... Like 4 wheeling...
? A 20% protocol encoding overhead?
? A 16.7% built in prepaid key tax allowance?

Actually it is a very good layout. You can type something like 70 percent of all common words without moving your hands off the home row. The next most common letters are on the row above the home row. The bottom row, which is the hardest to reach, is where all the least used letters are.
From your comment it sounds like you type like I used too. I could never quite learn the qwerty board. I used what I called the "scriptural" method of typing... "Seek and ye shall find". After typing for years that way I switched to dvorak. Within two weeks I learned the dvorak board completely and have never looked back. Give it a chance. I don't think you'll regret it.
How do these post get SO far off topic??????
Nah, since windoze 3.0, support for remapping your keyboard has been built into the operating system and isn't it about 95% of computers nowadays that are running some flavor of windoze? Look at "keyboard" setting in control panel then "input locales" then "change" then "add" then find Dvorak. Takes all of about 20 seconds to set up.
On some keyboards you can pop the keytops and swap them as needed.
In your keyboard control panel you can set the language - 99% of computer operating systems on the market (maybe more) have Dvorak built-in, and you can switch layouts easily. You just have to ignore the letters that are printed on the physical keys, because they're all wrong. ;) It took me a few weeks to get the new layout 'wired' right in my brain-finger connection, but now it's great. I'd never go back, when it's so easy to switch.
BSo, does that mean Real Attitudes have Jeeps?
Go look in the mirror and answer me that one!
