Re: Who here is left handed?

I'm the only lefty in my family Chat Icon so I'm very used to everything being done righty. DH is righty. I can do a bunch of things right-handed but I can't write and I'm really over-all just left-hand dominant.

I was as a child naturally left handed..my family apaprently thought there was something wring with that and kept putting things in my right hand. I had bad handwriting for YEARS



I thought people topped doing that in the 50s.




When I was a little kid visiting my family in Italy, they used to yell at my parents for allowing me to use my left hand (both left-handed and punished in school in Italy for their left-handedness). Thankfully, my mom told them all to shut up. In some places, they still see it as 'evil.' Chat Icon

That is so bizarre. My grandfather was forced to be a righty, but that was Scotland in the 1920s. Neither of my parents & none fo their siblings are lefty, so I don't know about that generation.

My brother & I are both lefty & my parents think
its funny, not evil.

ETA- I did recently learn that the Latin word for left is sinsister & that's why on contact perscription, left eye is OS (Occulous Sinister)
so, now when I put my left contact in, I call it my evil eye!

We had some that were reversed & I would have to request them for things like regents & AP exams, where I'd be writing for hours.

I am a lefty. But I play sports right handed, use a scissors right & use a mouse right handed. My Dad was a lefty. In my small dept of 6 people 4 of us are left handed.

Re: Who here is left handed?

i'm ambidextrous.

when I was a baby i use to have seizures from 11 months old till 1 1/2 years old. so when i was little i was a left handed little girl and they said the doctors because my seizures caused brain damaged to me. so they were afraid that the right side of my brain would not work as well because i was a left handed which my parents thought i was already smart as a kid and she didn't think i had to but the doctors insisted so they switched me to be a right handed person So now i can use both of my hands.
