people have talked about it before but i really do find keysmashes the most fascinating etymological/linguistic phenomenon
it's called a keysmash. by definition it has no consistent spelling and should be reproducible by just hitting any arbitrary keys in any order. but unconsciously you somehow "know" that it starts with an f or a or d and uses nothing but the second row of keyboard letters (usually the first half)
fslfksklsf "sounds" right, mvcxm,nc,z looks like nonsense. there's no logical reason for that, one is as much a keysmash as the other. but we've internalized that a keysmash must be "spelled" with certain rules
i'm not remotely a linguist but it's the same thing to me as the phenomenon of adjective ordering: opinion, size, age, shape, colour, origin, material, purpose. it's something we do largely unconsciously but when it's pointed out to us that it's strange to do it differently, we consciously notice it
