Will society here in the U.S. eventually leave handedness behind? Few young people write, and typing doesn't rely on handedness. In fact, maybe we should be teaching children to be ambidextrous.That will be more useful for computer work.
@Jeber when the polar caps melt and everyone on the coasts swims to get around, we’ll see…
@Jeber My spouse is likely a lefty. He was forced to write using his right hand because we are old and were born in the dark ages. While he is not totally ambidextrous, it really does give him an advantage when he is doing certain things.
@HopeSeeker @Jeber I'm largely ambidextrous - equally clumsy with both hands.
I was probably going to be left-handed as a kid, but when I was very young, both hands got bitten clear through by a dog. It took a long time to get proper use back in the left one, and by then I was already writing with the other.
Badly.
To this day, either hand writing looks like an untalented 3rd grader's.
@HopeSeeker @Jeber Mine, too. He writes with his right hand but does other things with his left. I have a friend who’s the same.
@Missclimpson @Jeber Many years ago I read there were no left handed Japanese children. I don’t know if this was true, even then. Still, it felt believable given my spouse’s experience.
@Jeber I love writing with a fountain pen. I do feel sorry for young people who never learned handwriting.
@Jeber I don't think it has anything to do with writing. It's about fighting.
@Jeber Sports likely won't.
