I would just like to make one last point, and not derail this thread any further:
Walk into any public library or campus or any place that uses public computers, and you will see the mouse setup is placed to be used at your right hand. Look at the Nintendo DS. It has games that go out of their way to accomodate left handers, but the fact that they do so indicates that the system would be more accomodating from the getgo to right handers. Look at the placement of the stylus holder - it is easier for your right hand to grab it and draw it out, both for the original and Lite. Face buttons, in general, receive more intensive use and require greater thumb/finger strength than the D-pad. It's placed at the right side of the conventional controller/handheld. Walk into a restuarant, and observe the placement of the cutlery. Again, easier for right handers to use.
That's the entire reason why I was apparently forced to use (and subsequently grow used to) using my right hand. Not because my mother believed that right handers were any better (they aren't) but because it would be a series of inconveniences that I would not have to deal with as I grew up.
Insignificant? Perhaps. But then I see no reason why which hand I use (or was forced to use) in life should hold any more significance (to the point of concluding only 'inbred villages' carry out this practice, even. Thanks for insulting my family, by the way.).
It's not an issue of pride, or any 'ideals'. It's simply an issue of practicality and efficiency (something Singaporeans, by and large, are infamous for anyway), fitting to a world that, subconsciously or otherwise, is more accomodating to right-handed people.
There. If you still find something horribly wrong with the idea of me being forced to use my right hand over my left, please PM me (let's not derail this thread any further).
