(Since no one got this: "sinister" comes from the Latin "left handed".)

Precisely. Note that I am left-handed, as are most of the people who know t hat "sinister" is the antonym of "dexter" in Latin - meaning left-hand rath er than right-hand. I'm pretty much equally dextrous with both hands, as ar e most left-handers. My main droit is no less powerful than my main gauche.
