@4:00 ; South paws have degrees of ambidexterity for a simple reason that most things (ie. can openers, corkscrews, guitars, grenades,...) are designed for righties. Us lefties have to face that reality. We have to adapt to ambidexterity no matter how awkward at times.

I usually use my left hand for anything I have a choice with. There are some things (writing, golfing, using scissors, using a can opener, etc.) that I do right handed because that was my only option, so I learned how to do it that way. I can only use a spoon in my left hand but can use a fork in either hand. I usually switch the fork back and forth several times during a meal, depending on which is more convenient, which drives some people nuts. Interestingly, I can only use a knife in my left hand but I can only use a scalpel in my right. I use a soldering gun in my left hand but a soldering iron in my right. I hold my phone in my left hand but I mouse right-handed. This is actually convenient because I can work on the computer or write notes while on the phone. Yeah, I know. I'm weird.

You had to work with them at exactly the right development time, and ALWAYS intervene, until they became consistent.

I was made to sit on my own in a classroom and use my right hand to copy patterns while my classmates were taught rudimentary maths. Eventually I was allowed to go back to using my left hand and join my classmates once more. I have never been any good at maths.

So many right handed people think there is no difference between right handed scissors, but they would be absolutely wrong. When you use a right handed scissor as a lefty, you inadvertently apply pressures that spread the two blades apart. And that means there is no, or very little cutting abilities. Using left handed scissors mean that pressure makes the blades force together and cut without issue. There is a real difference...

@ChelleFish1966 It is true that because most batters hit from the left side of the plate, lefties do have the advantage when facing right handed batters. This because breaking pitches thrown by left handed pitchers, the ball will come over the inside of the plate. It is harder for the batter to make full power contact on the ball, or hit the ball on the bats' sweet spot.

@@NickatLateNite It IS interesting that right handed people, apparently the majority, expect the left handed people to cope with their right handed world. And as we now, as a result of these posts and other life experiences, see the left handed, or predominantly left handed people all rise up to some level or degree of being ambidextrous, being able to use both right and left hands in certain situations. So we learned to cope better. I know many right handed people who can't do anything or any task using their left hand. So they are stuck predominantly being a single handed, right handed person. Guess all of us lefties should thank the right handed tyrants and their right handed world in making us a great deal more useful, productive and better at accepting changes and adapting our life around these changes. In fact, all of that would make us more advanced and perceptive. So thank a right handed person for making an environment that you as a once left handed person now has abilities far beyond just those single handed individuals. Thanks "righties".

Use of scissors is Particularly is actually dangerous to left handers 1. left handed scissors are almost NEVER seen [although much more common than in the past] 2. many if NOT most right handed scissors hurt or actually CUT left handers 3. when forced to use right handed scissors a left hander is BLOCKED from actually seeing the actual cut. 3a Left handers are frequently accused of having little or NO talent when forced to use right handed scissors. I personally was struck with metal edge of a wooden ruler by an older Substitute teacher who believed the LEFT hand was evil or sinister [I was told this came from the ROMANS but directly from FRENCH who were part of the conglomeration that make ups ENGLISH]. She struck me and cut my knuckles to convince me NOT to use my left hand so evil could not grow in me. She was half successful in that I did not become Evil [by human standards] but I remained Left handed. BTW I am 70 and was born in 1953. In reference to the comment about 1926.

Lefties are better on keyboards because the qwerty layout was designed to slow down righties due to the mechanical limitations of the early manual typewriter - typing too fast would cause the keys to jam. So the advantage doesn't really derive from handedness per se.

I didn't know that my father was left-handed until a few weeks ago. It explains why he played sports the way he did. My mother's father was also left-handed; when I was young, he told me several times that I would get my knuckles rapped on for writing with my left hand. Of course he was wrong, and the progressive Catholic school I attended actually had left-handed scissors, and this is back in the sixties. Strangely enough, I grew up playing sports right-handed; no coercion, it just came naturally. Everything else is done with my left hand.

@alfredodedarc 16 дней назад

I was born left-handed. The dominant eye test proved it to me along with every other thing that I have a tendency to do. I had a second grade teacher who decided that was not a good thing and she made me do everything right handed rapped my left hand every time she caught me doing anything naturally. By the time I was in the third grade I was a stutterer. That haunted me all through junior high and part of high school. I finally got it under control simply by willpower and slowing myself down when I spoke. I drew comics until I was 22 with either hand or both. I could pencil with one hand and ink the pencils with the other; my style was comparable to Neal Adams’ style just not nearly as good. I have always been a good writer and continue to be. I had all these advantages of a left-hander’s unique brain wiring and ended up an ambidextrous person who stuttered when I got excited. Then a disease called Charcot- Marie- Tooth syndrome stole all of my physical coordination. In baseball I really had no dominant eye, so I could watch the baseball all the way to the bat from either side. I could switch hands playing tennis with ease; not so after I turned 22. I couldn’t even tie my damn shoes for about six months. I got a little better but never recovered. Just glad I didn’t pass it on to my kids. I did pass my left-handedness to one of my kids and I told him before he went to school if your teacher ever tries to change you, you tell me, I told the teachers before every school year to leave him alone as far as handedness. He ended up with more athletic gifts than I could ever have dreamed of. Changing the handedness of a child is the only known direct cause of stuttering. I can testify to that.

I do a lot with my left hand like writing using a spoon a fork I do use a knife in my right hand I sometimes pick up the fork and forget which hand to use which gets me kind of confused. I use a hammer, screwdriver, scissors and power tools in my right hand. I also use a right-handed mouse but at the same time I can use a pen and the keyboard with my left hand. I can also use the keyboard with my right hand while writing with my left hand. As for sports there's a big issue there I throw and catch with my right hand, I shoot pistols right-handed but I use my left eye as for shotguns I shoot left-handed and use my left eye. Now as for painting a wall I use my right hand to use the roller but when I need to use the paintbrush and a spray paint I can use my left or my right hand. When drinking or smoking cigars I use my left hand or right hand basically which one is free to use. And as for typing this post I used my thumb on my right hand.

The world is very complicated for left-handed guitar players! Hard for teachers to help you, probably easier to give up! Paul is a very highly regarded base player.
