My family, at least my dad's, was unusual in being loaded with left-handers. Of the Munch and his 3 siblings who survived into adulthood, 3 (my dad, my Aunt Martha, and my Uncle Al) were born lefties. All were "co0rrected" when they entered grade school.
The Munch wouldn't allow our school district (of which he had at one time been an employee, as a junior high school teacher) do the same to / for me. He realized that this practice, which has since largely been abandoned, was the only known cause of habitual stuttering in adults. So he put the kibosh on such efforts really quickly.
I'm glad he did. I like talking far too much to want to contend with stumbling speech ... :-))
