It was that typewriting tapping; no dramatic music then. <br />Flora - thanks! But it really is too small. It is/was not always so neat either - depends on the pen, paper, angle, my speed, etc. I seem to use my right leg more, which is odd.<br />Mr. Hammer - thanks for the scientific update! how weird that it is connected to hair whorl. I wonder about the pairing of brain dominance with handedness and if that is also inherited. I would guess yes.Ask Leahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16425214876117011885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4018579450768515369.post-85733129684487467532009-12-27T11:06:01.451-08:002009-12-27T11:06:01.451-08:00My dad's lefty, I'm righty, with a dull ba...My dad's lefty, I'm righty, with a dull backstory, but the genetics of handedness was recently worked out by Amar Klar, with inheritance that is simple, but not obvious. Apparently handedness, and hair-whorl direction are controlled by the same single locus, using a variation on recessive inheritance; random recessive inheritance. If one is homozygous lefty, it is random what handedness and hair whorl direction one will have. Heterozygotes and homozygote righties will be righty.illadvisedhammerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15203111967659213406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4018579450768515369.post-13533843409112459212009-12-25T16:37:59.814-08:002009-12-25T16:37:59.814-08:00Impressive handwriting - I should take lessons fro...Impressive handwriting - I should take lessons from you! Mine used to be a nice smooth cursive, but years of taking hurried notes in lecture halls turned it into a scrawl that looks like the ominous messages written on walls and mirrors in horror movies - obviously the work of a deeply disturbed person. I am a strong lefty too, although I do some things mainly with my right hand - or leg - as the task calls for.<br /><br />I don't type in the conventional way either, so the computer keyboard was the best thing that ever happened to my writing!Florahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00510346346502906435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4018579450768515369.post-19846389079995360472009-05-30T03:56:56.317-07:002009-05-30T03:56:56.317-07:00I like the very quiet typing sounds that a compute...I like the very quiet typing sounds that a computer keyboard makes. It sounds like the thoughts marching out of your head one after the other, a little like miniature footsteps/fingersteps.indieperfumeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16933060392329498890noreply@blogger.com
