That's interesting Pendy, from more than one point of view. My mother had a stammer but I don't know whether it was related to being made to write with her right hand rather than her left. I only ever knew her as right-handed, but perhaps she started out using her left.

I was made to write with my right hand and my handwriting has always been awful but I can do lots of things with both hands which is quite useful.

Both my daughters are left handed. Mimi holds her paper and pen at right angles to herself and writes downwards rather than horizontally. Her younger sister simply writes along the page and covers up what she previously wrote which accounts for the ink stains on her hand and the messiness of anything she writes in pencil. She's also rather clumsy and apparently that is also common in left handed people.
