>>>I am old enough to remember school desks that were entirely designed for right handed writers. You undoubtedly grew up with the same ones.

In high school, we mostly had the chairs with arms, but there were a few lefty ones. >> > >Maybe it wasn't general then. The desks in my elementary schools were curved, with the wide part on the right.
