	Christopher Latham Sholes
		Sholes was so intrigued by the idea that he spent the remainder of his life on the project.
		To fix this problem, Sholes obtained a list of the most common letters used in English, and rearranged his keyboard from an alphabetic arrangement to one in which the most common pairs of letters were spread fairly far apart on the keyboard.
		Sholes had never imagined that typing would ever be faster than handwriting, which is usually 20 words per minute (WPM) or less.
