Even though the QWERTY layout was designed so keys don’t get jammed when typing in a typewriter, it was also designed with no ergonomics in mind, and some decisions are questionable.

For example, the word typewriter is typed using letters from the top row only because of a design decision.

So, AS A JOKE, I’m saying that they also intentionally designed the layout so when typing “banana”, a banana would be drawn.
