QWERTY- The QWERTY layout is a fine example of a fossil. It is sometimes said that it was designed to slow down the typist, but this is wrong; it was designed to allow *faster* typing - under a constraint now long obsolete. In early typewriters, fast typing using nearby type-bars jammed the mechanism. So Sholes fiddled the layout to separate the letters of many common digraphs (he did a far from perfect job, though; "th", "tr", "ed", and "er", for example, each use two nearby keys)

AZERTY -qwerty

LOSSY -A term describing a data compression algorithm which actually reduces the amount of information in the data, rather than just the number of bits used to represent that information.

TERNARY-the cardinal number that is the sum of one and one and one

UNARY-consisting of or involving a single element or component; "in a unary operation in a mathematical system one element is used to yield a single result"
