I'm talking about Lefties.

Seriously though, I agree with Nin the girl is quite hot (Im guessing Nin will find her so), she reminds me of an ex girlfriend actually. How do left handed people write though? I mean could you write right to left? That would just break my brain, it's unpossible.

You mean this wasn't just a sick joke?? Oh dear...

True story, we only found out he was a 'dirty lefty' yesterday! I've only worked here a year and a half now...

I'm a leftie :D Just started writing that way the first time I picked up a crayon...omg I can actually remember writing my name for the first time...how weird is that ¬_¬

My parents are both righties though. Pretty much everyone I know is a rightie apart from like two people :-/

Maybe it does have something to do with the devil then? On a serious note, my mechanics class at college had all right ‘handies’, so form your own conclusions from that. Oh yeah, a former maths teacher of mine was left handed, and ticked the wrong way (back to front).

Yes I did know that Dragonlance, hence it being seen once upon a time as "wrong" and to do with the Devil.

And I think there are far more left handed boys than girls Nin, outnumbered by boys something like 4 to 1 we are. Funnily enough 1982 showed a marked increase in the number of lefties being born, something like 62% of kids born in Uk & Ireland were lefties compared to the norm of about 2%!

In my business class in leaving cert, all 17 of us were lefties and so was the teacher!

Long time ago i was told it was to do with high-level testosterone supressing one side of the brain. The problem i have with that theory is wouldnt it then mean there would be far more left-handed boys than girls?

My mother, now deceased, and my father, just alive, are left-handed. My sister and I are right-handed and did you know that left-handed people are also called 'sinistral'.

It cant be the way youre taught, no one in my family is left handed, none of my teachers were either. When I started school being left handed was frowned upon and you were forced to use your right, as a result youll find a lot of lefties are in fact ambidextrous, like myself.

I know, don't think any way is the "right" way to hold it. Guess it's down to what is comfortable.

I'm trying to become ambidextrous - just so I can live in a rightie world and a leftie world.

I read a comment somewhere on the internet, when he was at school he kept getting told off for using his left hand, so he gradually grew up learning to use both.

It reminded me of primary school where we all kept getting told off for eating with a knife in our left hand and fork in our right. Apparently that's the wrong way to eat food. So whenever a teacher walked by our table we'd quickly switch them over.
