Yep I know exactly what you mean. I just assume that other layouts have equivalent words that are strange/awkward to type; seems unrealistic that there's a layout out there that is perfect for every common word. In any case I don't stress too much about whether or not the layout I use is the #1 top dog. The main thing was getting off QWERTY and onto something else that uses the home row more, because QWERTY hitting that top row a lot isn't the nicest for my average-sized hands (i.e. the scissoring motion contributed to a bit of discomfort long term).
