An interesting thing about the QWERTY layout is that consecutive letters are placed pretty close together. If you look at the position of each letter starting a, b, c, and so on, they're all pretty close together, in fact many pairs are right next to each other (specifically, cde,fgh,ijkl,mn,op.) Apparently not much thought was put into that layout at all, but since it was supposed to be bad, that doesn't make much difference.
