Regarding Italians and left handedness. Jan 15, 2008

Someone once told me that Italians loved left-handers because they left hand is guided by the heart.

I don't know if this is true, I just know that it is a very sweet sentiment!

DNA Jan 16, 2008

I guess everyone "blames" on genetics these days. My father was a left-handed. I was "corrected" to be a right-handed. Yes, I do have a bad coordination and don't play sports very well. My son is 4, and he is left-handed. I will never NEVER train him to be a right-handed. So, it must run in the family. Could it be in our DNA??

Then again these are the same people who think that the direction of the hair whorl determines handedness too.

I just wanted to see what you all thought of this as left-handers. ▲ Collapse

both-handed Jan 17, 2008

It's interesting what you write about. I can actually use my both hands for almost everything. My left-hand writing is not as nice as right-hand (looks ok though), but I think it's because I usually write with my right. As for other things, my both hands are absolutely equally skillful. Very comfortable.

I have two brothers, one is left-handed and the other is right-handed.

And because I have this condition, I never notice which hand other people use, so personally I wouldn't consider left-handers as 'different'.
