	Description:		Have you ever looked at the keyboard on a phone or computer and wondered why the letters are arranged the way they are? The English alphabet starts with A-B-C-D-E, so why do keyboards start with Q-W-E-R-T-Y? We asked historian and museum curator Kristen Gallerneaux to help us find the answer. Got a question that’s just the right type? Send it to us at BrainsOn.org/contact, and we’ll help spell out the answer.
