Here’s a passing thought, does anyone think that as fewer people are forced to be right-handed, there will be more natural lefties in the world? And then, we might see a demand rise for the products some of us could really use!
I am lucky in that I adapted to many things early on because my right-handed mom couldn’t figure out how to teach me. This means that I golf, bat, throw, knit, play tennis and use scissors right-handed. I’ve been trying to learn how to crochet and that seems to go better left-handed. However, with a knife, it depends on what I’m doing. Peeling an apple is right-handed, cutting on a cutting board is left-handed. Using a vegetable peeler varies. Mixing, scraping & measuring is usually left-handed, but pouring a liquid ingredient is done with either hand. Cracking eggs is only left-handed. When I learned how to correctly frost & decorate a cake, I started out right-handed, but realized I was more dexterous with my left hand. When I found myself getting frustrated, I would usually notice that I had my offset spatula in my right hand. And when I run a teller window, I want my cash drawer to my left and my keyboard & mouse to the right because I ten-key & use a mouse right-handed.
