I don't have to imagine it. My maternal grandmother would have been left-handed if such a thing had been permitted. She let me know some of the unpleasant things that she was forced to endure. But even after that the conditioning still stuck - when she saw me using my left hand she was uncomfortable, even though her head told her not to interfere. Nowadays I rather enjoy watching right-handed people find some of the minor inconveniences of using a house set up for left-handed use (such as which cupboards and drawers in the kitchen contain the utensils you most often want when working) - both my wife and I are left-handed. About the only thing I ever do right-handed is use a computer mouse, and that's mostly to avoid RSI - I can use the mouse in either hand. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
