"The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog" is a pangram, a phrase that contains all of the letters of the alphabet. HF used it when he practiced typing an English keyboard. Recently, HF is trying to use 3-beol-sik Hangul keyboard layout over 2-beol-sik Hangul keyboard layout which HF have used for more than 25 years. The main reason for trying switching is the hump of right forearm. Maybe fatigue have caused it, HF thought. So HF ordered an ergonomic keyboard and decided to use the ergonomic keyboard layout.
Though many proponents for 3-beol-sik argue that 3-beol-sik go along with Hangul principle more naturally, HF disagrees. 2-beol-sik is based on the fact that Hangul is composed of vowels and consonants. On the other hand, 3-beol-sik is based on the fact that Hangul is composed of Cho-sung (First consonant), Jung-sung (Middle-vowel), and Chong-sung (Last-consonant). It's like the following question: "What's the principle of the universe? Yin and Yang? Heaven, Earth, and Human?" Of course both can be taken as valid principle. Likewise, both 2-beol-sik and 3-beol-sik go along with Hangul principle well. No need to argue.
The major hurdle of learning 3-beol-sik key layout is mastering Last-consonant (Chong-sung). Because the layout divides consonants as First-consonants and Last-consonants and allocates key in different position, one need to remember more key position than 2-beol-sik layout. Moreover, the number of Last-consonants roughly doubles the number of First-consonants. Being tired of making mistypes on Last-consonants, HF got an idea of practicing Last-consonants using a pangram. The following paragraph has all Hangul Last-consonants.
"한낮 넓은 부엌 솥 옆에 벗고 앉아 앓는 소리를 읊으며 삶은 닭을 케챂 없이 볶아 먹고 - 좋아라 핥아 먹는 - 젊은이 얘기를 하는 (어두운 낯빛의) 외곬 노인의 넋두리를... 그깟 '김밥', '우동' 먹을 시간이 없다고 찾아 듣지 않았는가?"
25년간 쓰던 2벌식을 3벌식으로 바꾸어 보려니 잘 안되는 것은 당연하다. 받침 연습을 위해 종성 판그램을 만들어 보았다.
