I understand that the left hemisphere of our brains typically deals
with language. If this is generally true, then due to "coastal pull",
(yes my term) we "lefters" likely lean more towards the left
hemisphere of our brains. As such I can speculate that we generally
don't have any literacy troubles on the left coast.
Of course all this is in jest, but I plan on researching my "coastal
pull" theory.
Any and all written contributions are welcome.
(just don't use your right hemisphere while responding)
