I’m not prejudiced against left-handed people, but I honestly don’t understand why we don’t actively teach kids to write with their right hand. Any time I see someone writing with their left hand it looks so ridiculous.
Your sarc is dry and funny....either that, or you went to the Todd Akins school of logic and human reproduction.
Yeah I remember when my first grade teacher turned me into a righty with a ruler across the knuckles. I still throw and shoot left-handed.
The ones you notice are those who had stupid teachers. Others it would take you a while if ever to notice they're left handers. Ok, so when you're writing with your right hand, you have the top of the paper pointed to about 11 o'clock. Lefties need to merely tilt their papers to a 1 o'clock position so as not to do that ridiculous upside down wrist thing.
Ha, we left handers laugh at you right handers when eating but we're more polite and don't bring point it out. Look at a table setting. The fork is on the left and the knife is on the right. You righties have to fumble switching hands when cutting something whereas we lefties just continue to eat without all the fuss. Guess who gets to the seconds first, lol!
And yes, we are better looking, smarter and funnier.
My former wife, a natural southpaw, was "switched over" by her mother at the ripe old age of about four. She never really recovered from it. Her penmanship was entirely legible, but any time a tool or utensil was involved, she turned clumsy.
As long as she was left-eyed to begin with, when she was ready to learn to shoot, I switched hands and taught her how to hold the .22 rim fire rifle left-handed, then how to hold the revolver left-handed. She had a little trouble with the right-handed rifle's operation, but the revolver, a Smith & Wesson K frame .22 long rifle, seemed perfectly sensible to her. She eventually realized I'd "tricked" her; by then, however, she was a fully safe, reasonably accurate shot.
It looks so.... gauche.
For years lefties were forced or shamed into trying to write with their right hands. I think that educators finally decided there were signs this was unhealthy. I don’t know what the signs were. I am left eyed and somewhat ambidextrous so I wonder if I was pushed to use my right hand. I know that my penmanship is not the greatest.
Left handed writers are so brilliant that we are able to type on right handed QWERTY keyboards on a whim! ;^)
