I am right-handed, strongly so.

My mother was left-handed. Her handwriting was atrocious. There's a reason, though: When she started elementary school (in the 1930's), the teacher took the pen away from her left hand and forced her to try to write right-handed. She came home from school that first day in tears. My grandfather brought her to school the next day, and told them if they didn't let her write with her left hand, he would pull her out f public school. So they let her keep writing lefthanded, but NEVER tried to make her inprove her penmanship!!!! Just couldn't get their minds around the concept I guess, and the rest of us had to deal with it!

Paul is left-handed. He has very neat heandwriting.

I can write legibly left-handed. I just have to go slowly and concentrate more. When I was bored in school, I would practice writing lefty, just in case, like my friend Dawn, I ever fell and broke my right wrist. It is said to be a good exercise for your brain to do things with your nondominant hand!

I went to Mass College of Art, I am not sure the exact figures, but many many people were left-handed, it might have been 50/50.
