    I refuse to acknowledge "righty as a word unless its natural counterpart "wrongy" is included too. "Lefty" is obviously the unnatural counterpart as left-handedness is so unnatural.

    You forgot "bendy" (opposite of right = straight) , "skewy/leany" (opposite of right = upright) and "oppressy" (the opposite of right = a specific freedom).

      I like the sound of "oppressy." It would be entertaining to hear the news actors use it in their reporting.

    Then allow us to use the newspeak constructions "unlefty", "doubleunlefty", or "doubleplusunlefty" to clarify this egregious fault in language!
