> I’m left-handed and my penmanship is awful, lol.
I started out left handed, but the teachers used to wrap my left hand fingers with rubber bands to force me to be right handed. What they didn’t know was that I could write normal with one hand and mirror image with the other.

Rubber bands? That’s terrible! No one ever tried to force me to change hands, thank goodness.

I only write and use forks/spoons with my left hand. Pretty much everything else is done with my right hand (scissors, knives, drinking glasses, tennis raquets, baseball bats, etc.).

Your mirror image handwriting sounds cool! I definitely couldn’t do that.

I have heard this from others too. However, the reasoning at the time was stupid. They believed the left hand was the “devil’s hand” and was associated with the word sinister. I am left handed and am glad that thinking has changed!
