I realise, as do most left handers, that we live in a right handed world. That said, RHs should realise that we LHs - in many instances - just cannot operate as proficiently when forced to adopt a RH approach to many of life's functions.

I play a little of the guitar, I pick with the LH and find chords with the RH. I do not think I could do it the ''conventional'' way by any stretch of the imagination.

In the old days, school kids were frequently whacked over the knuckles if they persisted in writing with the LH. Those days are gone fortunately, but RHs need to keep in mind that LHs exist and need to be catered for. Our concerns do matter and cannot be brushed away simply by saying something like ''...oh, look, why don't you just do it the normal way, eh?...''

I hope I have not laboured the point too much.
