More Lefties In US Than Ever Before
Peterborough New Hampshire AP Lefthandedness is rising in the United States according to handwriting expert Warren T Johnson who has begun studies on southpaw writers. He estimates about 11 percent of the population is left handed and notes the trend is growing though little research exists. Johnson has started a test to measure speed fatigue and legibility by age and grade. He describes the left writer as often able to write faster with less fatigue when the hand is held above the writing line, a technique typically discouraged by educators.
