In that case, I am much worse. I should get the award.

Iā€™m one of those weirdos that throws, bats and shoots right but draws, writes and eats with their left hand. Guess Iā€™m only half a sinner! šŸ˜‚

Ha ha! Me too! šŸ˜€

@DaganCurie Cool. I could never shoot left handed, beyond layups and short hook shots. I can swing a hammer equally well with both hands, and switch off between right and left for pretty much all hand tools and paint brushes, depending on the angle to the work. I sometimes freak out opponents in ping pong when I switch hands. šŸ˜‰

When the award was given to the winner of the years' golf championship of my local course, they had to admit that, try as they might, they could not find ANY trophy depicting a left handed golfer (I am one). šŸ˜® šŸ˜›

Left handed were burned at the stake as witches.

Yep, even the word "sinister", which means left handed, has come in modern usage to mean, prone to, or appearing evil.

Not just in English. How about the French "gauche" or Italian "sinistre"?

LOL! I always forget about this one. While it really is not expressly a sin (as opposed to Sin) the pro right handedness of many mentions in the Bible of the best place to be ends up being used as a reason to denigrate the "other".
The claim is 85% of humans are right handed.
When I was working in the Engraving Department at the Seattle Post-Intelligencer, the morning news paper back in the 1980s almost 50% of us in that department were left handed. A couple of the photographers(different department) were lefties. I don't know about the other departments or management.

It's interesting that I'd always heard that creatives tend to be left-handed, and a lot of the ones I've known have been. My brother, an artist, is ambidextrous and they tried getting him to change when he was in school. I wonder how many right-handed people are true lefties but adapted to that pressure?

@Lauren I remember my mom telling me that they made her use her right hand in school. She felt like she was defective because she was left handed

@TheoryNumber3 That's a horrible thing to do to a child! Did she revert to using her left hand after she got out of school?
