15.3 - Left and Right

[Dlmrose, Moderator Emeritus]

15.3 - Left and Right
August 13th is Left-Handers' Day
Using the QWERTY keyboard and traditional touch-typing finger placement (it doesn’t matter if you type “hunt-and-peck” or thumb-text)


Option 1, Read TWO books, one A and one B:

Celebrate the power of the left hand
A. Read one book with a word at least FOUR letters long that is composed of letters/characters typed solely with the left hand in the title or subtitle. Letters may be used more than once. ex. great, tree, bread

AND

Since 87% of the population is right-handed
B. Read one book with a word at least FOUR letters long that is composed of letters/characters typed solely with the right hand in the title or subtitle. Letters may be used more than once. ex. pool, lion, Honolulu

OR

Option 2- Read ONE book with a left-hand word (option A) AND a right-hand word (option B) in the title or subtitle. Both words must be at least 4 letters long.

The apostrophe and hyphen are right-hand keys so may only be used for Book/word B.
Required: Please indicate the option you chose and identify the left-hand and right-hand words when you post.

Perfect

found these lists and thought they might be helpful:
*list of words typed only with the left hand:
http://www.maltron.com/keyboard-info/...

*list of words typed only with the right hand:
http://rickcreation.com/rickwalton/wo...

i'm guessing they're not the end-all-be-all, but they seem helpful! :)

Ok x

[Vicky]

I was on a mission to find a book for this task's one book option today and figured I'd share what I found for anyone who is interested. I'm pretty sure I checked them all to make sure they fit the general guidelines but it was a long mission and I might have missed something, so double check before you use any of them. (I'm still not sure which one I'll be reading. :x)

That was quite a mission!
With more than 3000 left hand words and 400 right hand words there are lots of possibilities

[Amy]

This book has a left and right word:

Dead Men Kill

but it is a bit short at 144 pages. Is that okay?

Sorry, that doesn't work
The word you use should apply to the title you read. If your book is in Polish then the word in Polish should be spelled with left and/or right letters not the translated word. Like left word = deszczc
