Hmm. I'm going to try to write this with caps lock.

I don't see why people can't use the shift key. it's QUITE IMPle to use.

Oh... that didn't work well.

I knew I use the shift key, but I just found out I always use the left one - never the one on the right. Maybe the capital I caused me to train myself to use that side?

Alright, let's try starting a sentence with a key on the right...

Well...hmm. I tried to use the right key and automatically hit the left one at the same time. Odd.

I use the right shift key too.
Ahaha, I did that same thing Thunder, it's like my pinky's on autopilot.

After two years of keyboarding classes...I've become accustomed to using the shift keys depending on which side the capitalized word is on...I don't think I could use the caps lock key...it seems like it takes too much effort when you could just press one key once...

It had a perfectly round door like a porthole, painted green, with a shiny yellow brass knob in the exact middle. The door opened on to a tube-shaped hall like a tunnel: a very comfortable tunnel without smoke, with panelled walls, and floors tiled and carpeted, provided with polished chairs, and lots and lots of pegs for hats and coats—the hobbit was fond of visitors. The tunnel wound on and on, going fairly but not quite straight into the side of the hill —The Hill, as all the people for many miles round called it—and many little round doors opened out of it, first on one side and then on another.
