Taught? Me too. With a ruler across the back of my left hand when I tried to use it. Shooting requires the dominate eye so I shoot a rifle left-handed but shoot a pistol right-handed but bring it across to my left eye. The teacher didn't follow me to the playground so I also throw left-handed.
yes taught is just a nice wording, some notations on Reagan freely state that he forced to be right handed because being left handed was considered a handicap. By the way I am right handed but shoot rifle left handed because I am cross dominant.
I'm a member of the left/right club. Forced to use the right hand for writing, I throw and bat with the right also but shoot left handed and kick left footed. After awhile I noticed that using a racket right handed I favor the backhand because my left eye is dominant. All screwed up on the left/right thingy, except for politics. :D
