Why are some people left-handed? | James May's Q&A (Ep 39) | Head Squeeze

[@SpiritBear12]

Being left handed makes it rather difficult to write from left to right with a dip or fountain pen. Let's hear it for ball point pens with modern fast drying ink and pencils. :-)

[@rickyspanish7851]

yes!

[@pangea5223]

Means you should write arabic since its from right to left

[@rickyspanish7851]

Pangea Haha!

[@RWBHere]

Spiritbear, I always bought left-handed nibs for fountain pens. They're still available. Blotting paper under the wrist was always needed though. Ballpoint pens are O.K., and I use them, but they ruin your handwriting.

[@aaronsalentine7876]

Because you have to write from right to left not left to right thats what i do.

[@SteveChisnall]

Fun fact: while about ten percent of the population at large is left-handed, about SIXTY-FIVE percent of autistic people are left-handed. I am, myself, autistic and left-handed.

[@generalgrievous4851]

[@rekozma]

When I was in school the nuns use to hit me on my hand trying to stop me from using my left hand. Made me so mad. That's how it was ages ago. Things have come along ways since then.

[@bigbenhebdomadarius6252]

+rekozma My mother's younger brother stammers badly from being forced to write right-handed. When I showed signs of being left-handed, thank God my mother forced the school to leave me alone.

[@rekozma]

BigBen Hebdomadarius you mom's a great woman. Tell her a lefty said thanks.

[@xISparkzy]

Same allthough not to that extent i went to a christian primary school and they tried to force me to use my right hand until my mum cake in and went fucking off on them

[@Its_PaPez]

Want to know what's the worst thing about being left-handed? You smudge EVERYTHING you write with a pencil.

[@Its_PaPez]

Right there with you Elton Sinclair

[@sundhaug92]

AC-Wesley Da Vinci solved this, write mirrored

[@MrVibriocholerae]

thats why i took an arabic class xD

[@kdonikdo8817]

AC-Wesley Actually writting with left-hand is also slower. Since you have to make breaks in longer words to move hand, because you can´t drag and write like right-hander.... So left-hander are discriminated in school in writting dictates. I actually wrote mirror like DaVinci at elementary school, so much fun :-D Actually, when you look at it in mirror it looks better than when you do right-hand style...

[@politicallyincorrectbeing8201]

Elton Sinclair no the thing is that arabic is wrote from right to left so you can say that it's the first and only language that cares for the left-handed people XD...btw i'm arab and left-handed

[@AlexGW]

Being left-handed, in a right-handed world. Means we have to adapt to a somewhat alien environment from an early age. Everything from social greetings, writing (where we all individually adapt to a hand position where we don't smudge/can see our writing), using common tools (scissors, etc, etc) Personally, I've found all these obstacles have made me more aware of the small day-to-day details. An advantageous boost.

[@samakshuppal]

James May is good at explaining things! His accent is impressive! Can't wait to see him in his new show! As for the left handed part, he's right that it was earlier considered as a bad manner.

[@BBCEarthScience]

Well in traditional piano music the more complex melodies appear in the right hand, while supporting chords appear in the left hand. A left handed pianist called Christopher Seed had the first ever left handed piano built for him, where the keys and the pedals were mirrored so that the notes needed for the complex melodies were on his left side and the chords on his right. It probably involves re-learning where the notes are but if you're a life long lefty pianist it's probably worth it!

[@TheGardenSnake]

I am left handed. Just thought I'd contribute to the comments with that. Also here's a fun fact. I typed this with my left hand. WOW

[@chayennelbbh2640]

[@christopherbrooke2142]

But if you gave your right arm you’d have to always be left handed

[@johngoodman1230]

@@christopherbrooke2142 that is, in fact, the joke

[@Craamron]

For a similar reason to the boxers mentionned, being left-handed can also be advantageous when fencing because most people are used to fencing right-handed people (even other lefties struggle against left-handers).

[@nikolaidiqnov6801]

I simply love those videos. Thank you, Mr. May for being one of the few witty presenters on the Internet.

[@qweqwessfgngyurt]

Another fun fact: We "lefties" are generally better at using our right hands than "righties" are at using their left, thus makes us overall better at using our hands :D

[@tomfranklin7582]

Thats because everything we use is right handed and are forced to adapt.

[@redephemera4219]

Suck on that normal, right handed people. I'm proud to be left.

[@gracealexandre3381]

It's not trying to adapt to the world and its utensils that is the worst drawback of being left handed. The worst drawback is when you are stared upon as if you're doing something wrong; as if you're committing a sin, especially when it's from your own parents!! Then, there's that question people constantly ask in disbelief that really ticks me off: "You're left-handed!!??" They make it sound as if it is a sin to be left-handed. No one will ever get me to use my right hand. I am dam proud to be left-handed!!

[@Untoldanimations]

One day in school a substitute teacher started talking about how people use to be beating up for being a left handed person. I didn't really care too much until out of the blue she says 'I still think they should' and I'm just thinking WHAT DA HELL?! Then I glance across the classroom to the only other left handed person and it looks like she's thinking the exact same thing too. Yeah everyone hated that substitute :/

[@fullyverified7491]

well then

[@masni6270]

A woman once told me her grandson started writing with his left hand so they beat him untill he started writing (from fear of getting more beat up ) with the right hand. And in her defense if you ask her " did you really have to beat him" she replied "well if he was a real leftie he would have continued writing with his left despite the beatings." I was honestly shooked hearing that, especially since I am a leftie aswell lol

[@wayntimmin508]

They did the same to my dad at school they beat his left hand with the cane so he would write with his wright hand they were sisters and said left handed people were sent from the devil

[@handsoffmycactus2958]

Probably some religious psycho loon, they always are

[@breakingfoundations]

I think it's wise to remember that 10% is an estimate thats been the exact same sence befor the 90s. Like ever other study they gather subjects and make a consensus to estimate the probability. It's more of a guess based on the few that participated compared to the many they will never know.

[@BBCEarthScience]

That's right the first ever left-handed piano was made for Christopher Seed. He mirrored the keys and the pedals so that the more complex parts of the melody could be played with his left hand and the support chords in his right hand. Some people get by without needing to change it, but if you're a life long leftist pianist I guess it's worth the investment!

[@Veal44]

Left handed for everything except for when using a cpu mouse,just feels weird with the left...

[@Daniel-gb9ex]

Well, there are ambidextrous and left handed mice.

[@RWBHere]

That's interesting. My right-handed wife learned how to use my left-hand-side mouse by using my computer when I wasn't around, hoping that I'd never notice that she'd been using it. She works with numerical data, so now has the speed advantage over others in her office, because she inputs data right-handed whilst mousing left-handed. She cannot use a mouse right-handed. Incidentally, my mouse is always configured 'normally', but positioned for left-hand use. Index finger operates left-click and scroll wheel, but switches to right-click if both buttons are being used. Middle finger then does left-click, but index finger still operates the scroll wheel.

[@crazyjimheath]

me too and i play guitar right and found right handed scissors are easier

[@jessicadale2518]

Yay for more James May

[@klieu90210]

I write with my right hand, play sports left-handed/footed, use scissors and eating utensils ambidextrously with preference for the right, use a knife ambidextrously with preference for the left, pick up things right-handed (most of the time). The left side of my moustache grows about 2.5 times faster than the right. My left eye is dominant.

[@SuperGhost145]

+klieu90210 "The left side of my moustache grows about 2.5 times faster than the right"

[@klieu90210]

brandon mcgaw The growth rate of either side is so low to begin with. After one month, the right side may grow 0.8 mm, the left 2 mm.

[@LACHandLOAD]

I'm cross-dominant, writing with my left hand, but performing all other tasks with my right.

[@TheKincognito]

i'm left handed, but i use scissors with my right hand, i also play a right-handed Guitar, but that's because i couldn't afford a left-handed one. and i'm afraid of using a Chainsaw...

[@SkylarReport]

The only time I use my left is when I'm driving... Other then that my left hand is worthless

[@MidnightEkaki]

[@fuzzface8252]

I simply flipped the guitar over and restrung it like Hendrix. Also, these days I play a Jazzmaster. Fender and Squier do not make a left handed Jazzmaster. You might think that should be weird to play, but it's like being right handed and playing a Gibson Firebird.

[@onlyonefry]

[@Zuniis]

Pianos are used with both hands, therefore having proper dexterity in both hands is required. Screwdrivers have an ambidexterious design, meaning they are symetrical and it makes no difference what hand uses it. Guitars use both hands, yet they preform very different roles. One hand has to be faster while another has to be more nimble. People often find their dominant hand to be faster at picking and learn to use their other hand more nimbly.

[@astoebeth6569]

I'm left handed but I use stuff that are all for right handed . Anyway, I'm not evil . :( I'm nice .

[@liampaulmassey]

I'm naturally right handed but about 18 months ago I practiced doing 1 handed texting with my LEFT hand when I was sat on the sofa incase I dropped my phone & now I always use my left hand even when I’m walking around but still can handle it just as good with my right hand, I've also started picking up my cup of tea & drinks with my left hand, I originally held my tea spoon in my right hand when I stirred Coffee or Hot Chocolate but after holding my tea spoon in my left hand & a lot of practice I now no longer make a racket when stirring with it in my left hand, one weird thing is I've ALWAYS held my Knife & Fork the left handed way round, I’ve even been practicing writing with my left hand, first I practiced the full alphabet in lower case & capitals & now I’ve began practicing writing sentences in joined up writing with my left hand & it’s getting neater

[@crabus3757]

So true I'm a lefty and I'm angry a lot

[@Mar.1634]

Same. Also it makes sense why so many criminals are left handed. Did you know some of the most infamous serial killers were/are left handed?

[@TheGreatMoonFrog]

I remember teaching a left handed kid how to play drums. It was embarrassing because I could barely play the simple rythms I wanted her to learn on her crazy opposite drumset. Since then I've actually gotten much better at left handed drumming and now can switch between which hand plays what in a rhythm which frees up room for new fill ideas. I wouldn't say I'm an ambidextrous drummer but I'm not far off!

[@ArchangelSteve]

+TheGreatMoonFrog Being a left-handed drummer is absolutely the worst because everyone involved in live music hates you: the sound techs sorting out your kit, the drummers on before and/or after you because of how long it takes to reorientate the kit, the audience who're fed up of waiting for drummers delaying gigs, and the promoters putting on the gigs because the increased time it takes to swap bands is messing up each band's given starting time/set length. At least unlike with lefty guitars/bass there's no real extra cost to being a lefty drummer, the only real piece of kit you need a left-handed version of is a double bass pedal...

To all lefties, if you'd kick a ball, which foot do you use? I'm left-handed but I prefer my right foot when playing football. As a matter of fact, we have 4 left handed players who are all right footed. Seems left handed and left footed is out of the ordinary I wonder how that works, brain wise...

[@SaunaFinland]

I'm left handed, left footed, but right eyed. I discovered my eye preference in the military when I shot my rifle. It was more pleasant for me to look through the sights with my right eye and thus I shot like a right handed person, since it wasn't hard to learn to shoot a rifle in a right handed position compared to learn to look with my left eye.

The scale goes left to right, and often the more complex parts of the melody are played with the right hand, which means it's slightly harder for someone whose left hand is dominant. Mirror the piano, and it becomes slightly more intuitive.

What about those of us that are ambidextrous? What causes that?

[@crabus3757]

Same

[@bigbenhebdomadarius6252]

+Curt TDH Like sexual orientation, handedness is a spectrum. People can range from fully right-handed, through ambidextrous, to fully left-handed. Most of the population falls somewhere between fully right-handed and ambidextrous, and only about ten percent of us are close enough to the left-handed end of the spectrum to identify ourselves as left-handed. James mentioned the current theories about what causes handedness, but no one is really sure yet what the real explanation is. As with sexual orientation, there seems to be a genetic element involved, but it does not appear to be the entire explanation. Forcing left-handers to use their right hands causes stammering (King George VI was a famous example) and messes with physical coordination, so handedness is clearly not simply a choice.

As long as it's written horizontally and top-to-bottom, your hand will never actually rest on the ink, even if you're going right to left (because the tip of the pen is slightly above the side of your hand). In Japanese, Korean and Chinese, however, there is that risk (since they can be written top to bottom and then right to left). They were traditionally written with long brushes, though, so the hand never rested on the page (as it does with quills and pens). And these days ink dries quickly.

None of my relatives and parents are left handed, I don't know from where I became left handed. But the nice thing is, people always whisper 'she is left handed' and I feel so proud!

dear left-handers, i like you. But get it right!

Glass lenses are not made with lathes - they are ground using an abrasive such as carborundum and then polished with super fine abrasives such as rouge, or more commonly these days aluminium oxide. It's actually fairly easy to make a rectangular lens, but somewhat of a waste of materials.

I like being a lefty and I'm not sure why. It's a part of me that doesn't really matter much, but it is a part of me.

It has nothing to do with the lens actually. Lenses are usually made with lathes, which only make round things. Making the lenses rectangular would be an additional manufacturing step that, at least in older days, runs the risk fracturing it. Further, manual focuses usually rotate the lens, which would cause issues if the lens was rectangular. Another reason for making captured images rectangular is for convenience. Storing a rectangular image as a computer file is simpler than storing a circle

For me it depends on what I'm doing with my hands. Sometimes I'm a righty and sometimes a lefty.
