Imp: But I thought dualling left-handed fencers was in annoyance? And here you're off emulating the offense. You traitor to the cause, you.

*arched eyebrow*
Are you implying you're notpossessed by the devil? Because I think we all know the truth here.
Yeah, left-handed people were witches. D:<
Meanwhile, the English word "sinister" comes from the Latin word "sinister,-tra,-trum", which originally meant "left" but took on meanings of "evil" or "unlucky" by the Classical Latin era.
The contemporary Italian word sinistra has both meanings of sinister and left.
And in the French Revolution, people who were on the "left" were the liberals/those against the King, and therefore also evil.
Left-handedness was often interpreted as a sign of Satanic influence, and thus prohibited. Many examples can be found in the Christian-Greek scriptures in which the wicked or evil sit at the left hand of God, while the righteous sit at the right hand of God, during the Last Judgment. The Inuit also believed that every left-handed person was a sorcerer.

Lol, I'm very right-handed.
