This should become rather poignant in the not too distant future.

What could be simpler? Send the company your $2 and in return you’d receive detailed blueprints for building your own laser gun at home. Imagine the fun of vaporizing your friends and teachers.

My mother is left-handed. Her younger sister had that "corrected" by her parents after they realized the error of their ways.
Not sure why some people thought it needed to be corrected.
For baseball players it seems to be a sort of natural advantage.
