[quote=Anonymous] My pet peeve with anything set before the mid-20th-century is when someone is shown writing fluidly with their left hand and nobody smacks the back of that hand and .says "RIGHT hand only!" OK, not that extreme, though my late grandmother got swatted a lot for that reason. But before the later 20th century, children (at least in the US and UK) were always taught to write right-handed even if they were naturally left-handed. Some teachers and parents would tie a kid's left hand behind the kid's back or use other methods to force right-handedness. Especially when I see some historical setting where someone's blithely scribbling away left-handed, it takes me out of the reality of the setting. I'm sure there were adults who, later in their lives, wrote left-handed as they pleased, but overall it's just not true to many periods and places to see it on screen. [/quote]
