Quite true though aunty. I hold a pen weirdly even for a lefty

lot of gamblers lefties

Yeh, as in left their money behind.

Visualise a wildlife program where a chimp is using a twig to extract grubs from a log ,well thats the way i hold a pen.Accompanied by appropriate facial expressions.

Rather than bothering the mods, if you're interested just put "correct way to hold a pen" into Google and click the only picture,
and you will see the correct and obvious way, along with the most ridiculous ways.

Incredible that some of these have gone through schooling, and not been picked up!

Being left handed obviously holds you back...

add your name and be proud to be 'sinister'

One of the greatest ever Englishmen ,Horatio Nelson ,was also a lefty

Napoleon favoured his left hand also.

Spellingandgrammarchecker....

How do they know Jack the Ripper was left handed?
Something dodgy going on here...

i've found for drawing that if you hold the pencil like a hammer, it makes for a better drawing.
