They used to try and convert all kids to right handers:-) Yes I do. I was put back a class in primary school because I wouldn't write right handed. I think I was going from Primer 4 to Std 1 but made me stay an extra year in primer 4, still didn't work. I'm a bit ambidextrous write with left hand use mouse with right hand. Sometimes you have to change if things are set up for right handed people. I use to fly gliders years ago and started flying using my left hand but had to learn to fly with my right hand as the airbrakes control was mounted on the left side of the cockpit. :) |

In the fifties I was put forward a class in the primers, left handedness was never an issue. I'm perfectly happy using an ordinary mouse in my left hand without any key reversal customising, doing AutoCad all day. |
