Wasps are wopses in Warwickshire, I think Shakespeare used the same word.

I think in boxing it's called being a southpaw? It's strange how being left-handed has been so looked down on over the years, to the extent of trying to force naturally left-handed children to use their right hands to write at school, which must have disadvantaged them. About 12% of the population is left-handed; a minority but not an insignificant one.

I'm right-handed for writing, but can only use scissors with my left and struggle to find sewing scissors with a left-handed handle shape; I can sew with both and wield a paintbrush with both - very handy when decorating.
