"These days, even these minor differences may be disappearing. In 2011, schoolchildren spend more time typing than they do writing, and etiquette is being phased out. And so, a few moments of discomfort notwithstanding, life plays out pretty smoothly for today’s left-handers. You are classified as a lefty only insofar as you choose to be (or insofar as you choose to play sports, where left-handedness can be a definite advantage). To be left-handed is to belong to a club by accident, a club with a single, clear identifying feature that nevertheless gives no real sense of identity to the club. If you want left-handedness to mean more, you have to make it mean more."
