Re: THEORY: language and the brain [Interesting article]

What is the actual difference between the brains of left and right
handed people? I've heard "in left handed people the right hemisphere is
dominant and in right handed people the left " which I think is true,
but what other common differences are there? Or is it all just too
random to say? I'm asking because I'm left handed... thinking about it,
I actually had to have speech therapy to learn how to pronounce T and D
(english th), I couldn't pronounce them for the life of me until after I
started school, which means I was older than 5 at the time... can't
remember how old I was when I started. But anyway, the thing about where
and how languages are processed just made me wonder if left handers have
problems like that more commonly than right handers or not.
