Unless you're left handed and the ballpoint gets gummed up in paper fiber.
? Aren't ballpoints symmetrical?
Yes but our writing isn't. When you write right handed you pull the pen, whereas left handed you push it. It changes the angle at which the pen rests on the paper and makes it so the pen scrapes along the surface and digs into it.
Most of my cheap ballpoints have stopped writing with half the ink left because of that.
Oh oki
