keyboard and composed:

I found this to be absolutely hilarious:

I can understand the obvious misspelling, but what is "wafer" supposed to
mean?


I'm trying to understand the reason that an "S" is appended to
resistors, capacitors, and diodes, ie RS2, CS4, DS2.

As for WAFER, if you're looking for a typo on a QWERTY keyboard, then
possibilities include SAFER, WAGER, WATER, WAVER, WADER. However, I'll
wager it would be safer to keep water out of the power supply. I'd
also waver before touching the power connector, although wearing
rubber waders may afford some protection.
