Anyone else have one of those crazy Catholic grade school teachers FORCE you to write with your right hand uncletaz.com/at/janfeb04/lefthandedness.html? Seriously. Up until the 1st grade, I was entirely left handed. I still remember my first grade teacher coming up to be and whipping the pencil out of my hand, and placing it firmly in my right hand and saying, "No, like THIS!". Now I write with my right hand, but I hold it awkwardly like a lefty. I even developed a misshapen finger nail on my right ring finger from pressing the pencil into it so hard because it felt awkward. Seriously, anyone else? O.o I've heard forcing people to write with their non-dominant hand can actually cause mental problems. That explains alot, lol.

^ That can really screw your brain up. It's cruel to force kids to do that!

I think the Catholic thing is because in the older days people believed that the left hand was cursed by the devil or something. Like the thing where you have to throw salt over your left shoulder to kill any unlucky demons, stuff like that. A lot of religous people frowned upon left handers because of the "curse" lol

^ Well my dad felt it was easier in our world to be right handed so he tried to change my hand as a child, until I was maybe 10, but I picked up a pencil and started drawing at age 2, so it was hard to break the habit!
He wouldn't force it upon me so as to break my hands and hurt me, of course.

I'm right handed but I can right fairly well with my left. Interesting how some teachers in the old days used to try and stop people from writing with their left hands. Both my parents were natural lefties but are very good with the right becuase of their school teachers.

Left-handed people couldn't be knights because they were thought to be cursed

Other, I can do some things only with my right, others only with my left, other stuff with both, and the rest of stuff I can't do at all. XP
Oh, and my dad thinks I'm actually a lefty.
