A slight digression, but my poor brother had such a hard time in school. His teachers would not accept assignments written on the back of the paper (i.e. the holes on the right).

It is hard to describe, but it looks very uncomfortable. BTW, he still writes that way even though he no longer has notebook rings to worry about.
My left-handed husband writes naturally; like the rest of us, except with the other hand. Maybe the fact that his mother is also left-handed helped him.
