I'm 70 years old, so maybe things have changed, but my left handed brother was FORCED to use his right hand for everything, as we were growing up. Apparently left handedness is a sign of the devil, or some such crap. As a result, he was effectively ambidextrous, as an adult.

Which country did you grow up in out of curiosity? They definitely did this in soviet union because it was more optimal to not have to design anything for minority of left handed people.

I grew up in Australia, but my parents are Ukrainian, so this makes sense.
