It's idiotic that QWERTY keyboards have the letters V and B adjacent.

The only English words they appear together in are obverse, obviate, obvious, subvert (and variants thereof). No-one cares about the Spanish typists. Or the Danish for that matter - who it seem hate C-like programming languages because it's too difficult for them to type all those { and } symbols.
