Date: 2007-07-08 02:59 pm (UTC)Isn't it IRRITATING? As if left-handed writing = chickenscratch by default. No, I have a very nice writing, thank you very much.
I thought it was an English thing too. Although, I generally use my right hand, in the American way. Because in this part of the world, eating with your left hand in public (unless you're using both hands t o tear bread or something) will get you stares, so I'm conditioned tht way. Actually, I'm somewhat ambidextrous, because I can throw things only with my right hand, but I'll hold the racquet only with my left hand!
