The system is sometimes phonetic—the word “enter” is entered by hitting the T with the left hand, the E with the thumb, and the R with the right hand—but frequently it just seems nonsensical to the untrained: The M sound is produced by hitting the P and H keys with the left hand if it occurs at the beginning of a word, and the P and L keys with the right hand if it occurs at the end.
From Slate

From Project Gutenberg
