Yes, me too but those are the only three things I do right handed, all
else with the left.

Terrible. (I'm only 55 but, at my boarding school, they tried to make me
both eat and write the "Normal" way. After strong words from my parents
they left well alone. My left handed scissors always throw people when
they use them!

Perhaps that is something to do with the penchant of some teachers in
the 1950's to make all children in their class write with their right

Yes, left handedness and the devil went hand in hand. It's certainly far
more common now (left handedness I mean!)

Sorry mods for going off topic but it is quite interesting - isn't it??
