How is that physically possible?

I had a temporary job transcribing videotaped meetings to text and I used ctrl a lot for controlling the video. That fn placement almost killed my left hand, would have been perfectly fine if they were switched but that alone greatly limited my freedom of movement as I really wanted to borrow a sane keyboard wherever I went.

edit: I guess it must depend on the size of the keyboard. On the x-series it was unforgivable.
