I used to hear that left-handed children in school were treated differently because they weren't "normal". We all know that there is no such thing in life as normal. Sounds like it could be true, people are very strange creatures.
I think I used to be left-handed, but my parents saw it as incorrect and made me switch. Well, at least that's what my sister made me think.

My mum said that to me, when I was a small child, I'd pick stuff up with my left hand and she'd take it off me and give it back to my right hand... and I'd switch it back to my left hand:D

I'm left footed too:cool:
Oh, there's another question now:p

I believe the word "sinister" comes from the Italian or Latin word "sinistra" meaning left or left-handed.
Over in this shithole of superstition, there is a special word for left-handed people to define them from right-handed ones.
None of this, of course, applies to JJ, who is one of natures gentlemen:)

Saw a docu once that suggested left handed people were originally twins in the womb.The theory being the split egg was a mirror of the other.

Its a bit daft really.Like saying are gay people nicer than straights.

Well, I never thought about "being different" just because of the fact that I´m left-handed.
And I never had problems with my parents or my teachers trying to drag me to use my right hand.
The only thing that annoyed me was to write with a fountain pen. :rolleyes:

I do that too... I can write on a chalkboard with left or right equally well. But not on paper. I'm sure there's a neurological explanation for that, I just have no idea what it is.

....this is true! Because left handed people are klutzes. I don't know many that aren't running into the occasional doorway or falling off a sidewalk once in a blue moon. Do we have bad depth perception? I find it completely fascinating that 10% of us have "mis"wired brains. I wonder what else is different?

Ciotóg is the Irish term for a left handed person. It also means a strange person.

The word "sinister" also derives from "left-handed".

My mother is left-handed but she uses a tennis racket, toothbrush and scissors with her right hand.

My sister writes with her left hand but does everything else right handed.

Are you serious about the spatial awareness thing? I've never heard that before, but I'm always being told (lately by my driving instructor) that I'm not good with all things spatial. That would perhaps explain it, but what's the science behind it?

I will have to search for studies. I'm going on things I heard years ago. I cant validate the statements but if they are true I would not be surprised. Left handedness research will have to be my next project after school ends may 19th, lets bring this topic back from the dead at that time, don't forget!

PS I have ADHD too, and I can't tell you whether being left handed or ADHD makes me a not so great driver, but I CAN tell you that learning manual helped a lot- its cut down my accidents that were my fault to zero, knock on wood. It helps my spatial perception because it takes me a little longer than an automatic; it helps my ADHD because I contstantly have to shift so it keeps me focused.
