right-handers
Most people, handedness-wise
Right-handers are people who naturally use their right hand for tasks like writing, throwing, or eating.
The term applies both to the people themselves and, in sports, to pitches or shots executed with the right hand: Two right-handers will start tomorrow's doubleheader.
Right-handers make up roughly ninety percent of the population.
