English is heavily left-handed

It's not English that's left-handed here, it's QWERTY. The article acts like it's discussing English, when it's really mostly about a particular keyboard layout.

It's not QWERTY that's left-handed here, it's QWERTY used for English that is.

Yes, but QWERTY was designed for English.

But of course he woundn't get so many page hits with the less sensational "Qwerty is heavily left-handed."

It's because of tactics like this the web is going downhill as a medium of fair discourse.
