I'm a lefty, so fountain and liquid ink are out due to smudging. Unless I use a hook grip (also known as overwriting). Which, come to think of it, was probably why I was so bad at taking notes until notebook computers came around.

Previous generation lefties were often pressured to use their right hand and corrected against their protests. I wonder if it was less conformity and more practicality for fountain pens.
