Happy International Left Handed Day to all those afflicted, including my oldest daughter. Just over 10% of people are left-handed, and only 5% to 6% for women. Some studies have reported that rightys have higher IQs than lefties. Hey, it's just science people, don't shoot the messenger. Things have improved for left-handers, and rarely are they seen as evil because of how they write. The word sinister comes from the Latin word for left-handed.
My daughter being a southpaw was a huge advantage during her competitive softball years. As one of only 2 left-handed pitchers in a league of 1,200 girls, she was very effective league play and in travel tournaments despite being slower than average. She did have a wicked curve that broke in sharply on right-handed batters.
