That the word 'sinister' is derived from the Latin word for 'left' is telling proof we've been marginalized for too long.Amen, brothers. I am also a lefty, and I am fucking TIRED of the pen at the checkout desk being attached on the right side. I'm tired of right-handed desks. I'm tired of right-handed scissors. Even time on clocks is right-handed, for chrissakes.
It's clearly time for bloody, violent revolt.
Not only that, but DRY ERASE BOARDS! As an instructor, I always have to use them in front of my class. Because we write from left to right, I have to keep space between my writing hand and the board by holding my marker as if it's a fork! Otherwise my hand will erase what I write as I go! And writing in 3 ring binders sucks for almost the same reason! Those damn rings are always where my hand needs to be! Right handed people have it so easy! Imagine if the English language read from right to left...We would rule the world!
