Before you told this, I never had noticed that. Went to the other room and yes, the left Ctrl is the second button in the row. Actually, my other HP laptop has the left Ctrl as the leftmost button and I feel no difference, the numpad on the HP is annoying me much more as the rest of the keyboard is shifted to the left compared with the ThinkPad and switching laptops make me type neighboring buttons.
My thought too. I never even noticed until I read this post. Safe to say it doesn't bother me. I rarely use the Fn key. Interesting to know now though!
Maybe this is just a quirk of how I type, but when I want to press the ctrl key, my pinkie just feels around for the key on the bottom left corner, so it not being the ctrl key really messes with me.
I change keyboard layouts using Alt+Shift, not Ctrl+Shift, so maybe that's another reason why I don't notice.
