No, you sit there in your left handed sinfulness, and be sinful, and get used to it! |

But this is a question of perspective. From where I sit the hand icon matches the view that I - the prospective hand-raiser - have of my left hand when I am in the act of raising that hand. The hand icon does not contain any detail which would mean that the right-handed, palm-to-user interpretation is correct. Given that the palm-to-audience hand gesture is rude in many cultures (Iraq, Greece, Monmouthshire), Microsoft have done well to avoid using it. |

Kudos to [calum] for recognising that the culture of Monmouthshire is up there with the great classical civilisations of Ancient Greece and Mesopotamia. |

[calum] So are you saying it’s actually either discriminatory against right-handed people, or insulting to people from (the big three) Iraq, Greece and Monmouthshire? |
|

I don't want to overstate the part that Greece plays in this, given that the moutza typically has fingers splayed, but yes, those are the only two options. I am, however, relaxed about the extent and impact of any discrimination against right-handed people, as the left-handed minority have many struggles that us right-handers do not (scissors, keivhendt / sinister etc., the left hand of god). |

Darn those ambidextrous people! |
