I can’t see the name Dvorak without telling this story from a couple of years ago:
I was talking to my wife about the problem of inertia in making big changes in society (in the context of single-payer healthcare) and brought up how much more efficient the Dvorak keyboard is.

A music school near me has free recital for the community every month. They’re really good, it’s a college in Montecito for people who aren’t pros but have spent their lives learning their instrument
Anyway I’m turning off my phone and going to listen to Dvořák and not think about politics. Bye
I pronounced it “Da-vor-ack”. She, gently, corrected me that it’s “da-vor-jack” (thinking it was related to the composer), but I thought the inventor pronounced it my way.
So we looked it up and they’re pronounced differently, but also the inventor and composer are related.
