They do make special gadgets like that for lefties, but as I grew up with right handed ones, I just developed that set of movements with my right. But I chop with my left hand and do most other things  with my left.
Sorry for going on................. |
No, it's fine! No, the stigma vanished in the 1980s, but, like such issues as racism and homophobia, there is still a slight stigma attached to being left-handed, which is ridiculously silly.
