A simple run through /usr/dict/words using egrep (faster than grep)
reveals many eight-letter words that can be typed with the right hand
and two nine-letter words:
	hillbilly
	polyphony
(although, come to think of it, I just typed "hillbilly" using the left
hand for the "b").  A somewhat more useful statistic concerns words
in which the hands alternate:  Such words are particularly easy
to type quickly and accurately, and are therefore especially useful for
passwords.
