Was going to post, there was a time in history left handed people were considered odd and unacceptable so they would often be abused into right handed. Especially in religious ran schools. So Ned is probably old enough to have the wonderful yardstick across the knuckles treatment.
It’s where the word sinister comes from. In Latin it just means left, left hand side. Then in Medieval times the right got positive associations and the left negative which lead to left is bad then to evil. Hence sinister means evil. And why left handedness became associated with the devil.
Oh, that's an interesting bit of information. Thank you!
Yep. I am proud member of the Bar Sinister. And yes, Ricky Bobby I will put that evil on you because of it.
I use both hands and their pronouns are those hands them hands
Makes you think about the word right, right?
