This thread has taken some interesting, oft light-hearted twists and turns. Now we have 3 "Righties" who deal cards with their Left hands. Hmmm....maybe there's some university somewhere who can give a research grant into this phenomenom. Are there any "Lefties" out there who deal cards with their Right hand ? If so, we can put up a good case for that grant. John_T, No, I don't play bridge, actually I prefer to deal cards under the table (with my Left hand of course), but this is not generally recommended if one wishes to lead a long life.
Thus far we've covered "Laterality" pretty well, how about "Verticality"? Here's a (totally truthful) one out of Left field, my aunt could ONLY write Upside Down, that is, from the bottom of the page to the top with inverted writing (with her right hand). Her writing was perfectly legible.
Hobo, your untidy and "spidery" writing sounds much like that which occurs when a natural Left hander has it thumped out of him / her at school and forced to use their Right hand. Several teachers have made this remark to me.
