Finally! I came across a website that acknowledges the difficulties (we lefties) experience using daily tools. I always wondered why it was so annoying using regular scissors – apparently they were designed for right-handed people. Not only was it scissors, I recall university desks, even pens!
I know, it sounds silly, how would a pen make a difference, it’s a pen, I didn’t believe it till I accidently saw a “weird” looking pen that I wanted to check out, then I realized it was designed for “lefties”. What a joy that was, and believe me, there IS a difference!
Well, some left handed people became very popular in various fields, like Bill Gates, Bill Clinton, Amitabh Bachchan, Robert DeNiro, Joan of Arc, Barak Obama, Angelina Jolie…. Etc. This website gives a nice list:

So to all fellow left-handers, check out this website:
http://www.anythingleft-handed.co.uk/
I know it is based in UK, but they do deliver to North America.
And check this out: http://www.lefthandersday.com/
Apparently August 13th is a lefthander’s celebration day of their right to be left handed ;-)

I know, it's great when you use a product designed for a lefty for the first time. My left-handed bread knife means I can cut thin, even slices. I'm not cack-handed at all, I just had the wrong implement all these years.
Wow, do we have our own knives?
This I have to check out ;-)
Thanks!
