 Some fun facts relating to keyboarding and words: 
1. 'Stewardesses' is the longest word typed with only the left hand.
2.  'Lollipop' is the longest word typed with your right hand. (You just tested those out, didn't you?)
3.  The average person's left hand does 56% of the typing.
4. TYPEWRITER is the longest word that can be made using the letters only on one row of the keyboard.
5. No word in the English language rhymes with month, orange, silver, or purple.
6. The words 'racecar', 'kayak', and 'level' are the same whether they are read left to right or vice versa (called palindromes).
7. There are two words in the English language that have all five vowels in order: 'abstemious' and 'facetious' (you're saying a e i o u, right?)
