The school didn't let your dad write with his left hand? How odd. :o

Yeah, apparently they were a bit late at abolishing that :/

Oh wow, that's wild.


It happened to my dad too. His (right-handed) handwriting is horrible and he holds his pen in a white-knuckled clutch. I suggested that he try learning to write left-handed as an adult, but he evidently felt it wasn't worth it.

Ambidextrous, though I tend to use my right hand mostly mainly because that's what I used growing up. I found out in like middle school that I was pretty good at writing with my left hand too though, and the more I messed with it it eventually got to where it's really no different than the right. The brain is just a muscle, if you work those particular muscles it can change IMO.

I've never understood how only 10% are left handed though. I genuinely think that's just an old estimate that stuck around, because I know tons of left handed people. I really can't see it being possible to only be 10.

I dunno, there seem to be quite a lot of reports/studies explaining why the population of lefties would be so low. :P
