i was born a lefty, but now i am a righty.  my mother's reasons were
never very clear for converting me and she is evasive now when i ask
why, but one which she uses all the time is "how are people supposed to
eat with chopsticks by using their left hands?"  if you think about it,
chopsticks are about 20 cm and stick everywhere.  at a typical
traditional chinese meal, you sit close together and so even one lefty
makes things very messy.  it's not much of a reason, but all the other
ones i can think of have nothing to do with logic.
