Lefty here!!!! The only one in my family, so teaching me to do things as a kid like tie shoelaces or cut meat was difficult and I couldn't teach MY own kids as they are both righties. Luckily, I was never really ostrasized in school for it-I learned to adapt. Artwork was always done from right to left( even now, my teachers at first think I'm doing something wrong until my 'difference' is pointed out). Taking notes, both then and now are done from the back of the notebook moving frontward. I write backwards very well with my right hand and I use it exclusively for the mouse and calculator. As for can-openers and the like, electric is digit-neutral for the most part. But measuring cups? I have to turn them 'backwards' or read the numbers from the inside of the glass.
(side note-my grandmother was always telling my parents to make me use my right hand-for all their strictness and old-fashioned ways, I have to say to mom and dad, LEFT ON!)
