i wouldnt have thought it was as much as a third, thats like 10 people in every class at school! although i do know quite a few left handed people

There were quite a few lefties in my class. Not as many as ten but at least seven.
there was only 1 in my form, but there were a few others in my year. both my grandad and uncle are left handed though. i always wanted to be able to write neatly with my left hand
I am a leftie and I was always under the impression 10% of people were.
Interestingly the statistics seems to vary with age and sex. Oldies over 80 are only 3% likely to be a leftie - and there is speculation that this is because it was less socially acceptable in the past to be left handed.
I am 43 and when I was at primary school they forced me to eat right handed and use scissors right handed. This has stayed with me till this day. They didn't manage to get me to write right handed though - I just cannot do it.
Among younger people 13% are left handed - I guess the 11% is an average that will go up as older people die.

i agree with what youre saying about it being less exceptable in the past than it is now. someone i know joined my school when she was 7, previously she had been to a private school since the age of 3 (nursery) and they had made her write with her right hand. she still chooses to write with her left hand but she can now also write neatly with her right hand. i was shocked when she told us, but obviously from what youve said its not that uncommon
