Why, WindMinstrel, I had no idea that you were such a, um, er, well, maniphobe?
How gauche.
[rim shot goes here]
Left-handed, ambidextrous, what's the difference? Ooh, and what if you kids' public school teacher is a "leftie"? Just what kind of agenda are your kids being exposed to, anyway?
I prefer "ambisinistrous," thank you very much...
As for the teacher issue, that's been covered too. Abram Blau's The Master Hand of 1946 describes a school in which 16 of 34 2nd graders wrote with the left hand. Why? Because the first and second grade teachers in the school were left-handed.
Make no mistake, we WILL steal your children. Sleep tight.
