Why? Do the Japanese have more thumbs?

Sorry. Had to get it out my system.

I don't get it. . . .

They have two thumbs, but within reach of their thumbs are extra keys. They need these extra keys because there are a lot of characters in their writing. They don't need more thumbs, because they only need to push one of these extra keys at a time.

Do I need more pointer fingers if I need to use one of the Y, H, N, B, T, G, and V keys?

Um, it was a joke...
