how are people born writing right or left hand?
I, too, write left-handed. I tend to hold fountain pens further up the
barrel with an angle and finger grip which places the hand below the written line sufficiently to avoid smearing. Tom "Brian Mailman" wrote in message ... Those of us who write with a true inversion (I write just like a right-handed person, except from the left) learn to pick up our hands at a slight angle above the paper to avoid that. B/ Tom Ferguson wrote: In the days of quill pens, and later, fountain pens, there was a good reason not to write left-handed. English is a left-to-right written language. Thus, when the pen is held in the left hand to write, there is a tendency for the hand to move across part of the area where markings were just made. That tends to smear it. Tom MSMVP 1998-2007 "Terry Farrell" wrote in message ... That's different. If you hadn't had the accident, you would never have tried to learn to write with 'the other hand'. As recently as the middle of the 20th Century, some children were forced to be right-handed at school. These days that doesn't happen (or at least I hope not) and the result is that there are an ever increasing percentage of southpaws. Terry "E. Barry Bruyea" wrote in message ...

Terry Farrell "enmanuel" wrote in message ... answer this right please But it can be modified. I spent the first 21 years of my life right handed, but due to an accident that caused a long period of recuperation, I had to learn to write with my left hand and it wasn't all that hard, but I do most things right handed, like Golf and in baseball, I bat right handed, but catch left handed. Interestingly enough, I have never been able to pick up writing with my right hand again, even though I now have full use of my right arm and hand. |
