[H.M. BURDET]

I don't know if every exchange on this list on the subject of creatio=
nism
is sound, but I do know that French for left-handed is "gaucher" and =
not
"gauche". As for cr=E9tin, the French word derives from the German
"Kreidling", an allusion to the white chalky colour of the skin in
individuals with hypothyroidism.
