Twitterはタイプライター語

QWERTYキーボードの上段のキーだけで、「typewriter」と入力できる。「Twitter」もそう。

こうした語を「typewriter word」（タイプライター語）と呼ぶらしい。上段、中段、下段だけで打てる単語はどんなのがあるのかと思って調べてみた。

FILE = "/usr/share/myspell/dicts/en_US.dic"

TYPE_WRITER = "qwertyuiop".split(//)
ASDF = "asdfghjkl".split(//)
ZXCV = "zxcvbnm".split(//)

class TypeWriter
  def initialize (letters)
    @letters = letters
  end

  def show
    print @letters.join, "\n\n"
    File.open(FILE, "r:iso-8859-1") do |f|
      while line = f.gets
        next if line.nil?
        word = line.chomp.downcase
        word.gsub!(/\/.*/,"")
        next unless word =~ /^[a-z]+$/
        next if word.size <= 2
        
        if (word.split(//) - @letters == []) then
          print "#{word}, "
        end
      end
      print "\n\n"
    end
  end

end

t = TypeWriter.new(TYPE_WRITER)
t.show

t = TypeWriter.new(ASDF)
t.show

t = TypeWriter.new(ZXCV)
t.show
