I don't know if I'm a minority!

<p>I'm left-handed. ;)</p>

<p>Sure, you're a minority. There are some scholarships out there for you sinister types (Latin, look it up)</p>

<p>I got that reference immediately. Yay linguistic geekiness!</p>

<p>i hate linguistics.....</p>

<p>fencermother, I don't need to look it up. I know the definition of sinister, and it comes from the Latin meaning "left". Were you trying to create some kind of pun?</p>

<p>P.S. I was just trying to create some humor. ;)</p>

<p>Studies have shown that left-handed people are smarter (on average) </p>

<p>:)</p>

<p>Lefties as a group are highly creative and intelligent. This intelligence is tempered by our propensity to swerve into on-coming traffic… C’est La Vie!</p>

<p>Ya lefties. I write with my right hand my parents switched me when i was little, but everything else i do is left handed. Now i know i will get at least onw scholarship. Hehehe. I prolly will never get a left handed scholorship</p>

<p>indian something similar happened to me.</p>

<p>parents forced me to write and eat with my right hand.</p>

<p>but when i play basketball I shoot with my left and for baseball i can throw and bat with both arms.</p>

<p>I've always wanted to be left handed :(.</p>

<p>Only because it's a smaller pool to work with.</p>

<p>Yeah my right hand is so weak compared to my left even thouhg i work out. I use both hand when i bat also. Kinda wierd, i guess in a way we are like partialy ambidextrious lol.</p>

<p>You're a minority, but not the kind that will help you get that management job or that spot on Harvard's A-list. It will most likely be the biggest help at parties.</p>

<p>In my area, there has been a lot of inbreeding and isolation until about the last decade, so I'm one of 3 lefties in my class of 60. Statistically, that's waaaaaaay below the national average. But the percentage of people with blue eyes is also 40%, which is also skewed.</p>

<p>I saw an Asian lefty once working in a store. I've heard that Asians have the lowest concentration of lefties out of all the races.</p>

<p>lefties are a minority...i read somewhere that 2/3 of the world's popuation is right-handed, but I'm not sure if it was a credible source.</p>

<p>When I get old and rich, I'm going to make a scholarship fund for gifted lefties.</p>

<p>.........lame</p>

<p>Oh, buuuurrrrnnnn.</p>

<p>If I'm not mistaken 10-14% of the population is left handed.</p>

<p>so that makes them (us) a minority... :D I feel special.</p>

<p>I looked on the all-mighty Wikipedia, which said that a 1977 study concluded that 15-25% of the world's population is left handed. Obviously, when we're dealing with 6 billion people, 10% is a huge margin of error. My guess is that it's closer to 15%. Left handedness is also more common in males and in people with brain defects.</p>
