The condition of supernumeracy fingers (or toes) is called Polydactyly. When each hand has 6 fingers, this is often referred to as sexdactyly, hexadactyly or hexadatylism . Lots of fingers = lots of names. Even though this particular faqer is Westcountry born and bred - from glorious Devon - I am yet (to my knowledge) to meet anyone with 6 fingers on each hand. Therefore, forming a first hand opinion is not easy. I am however 100% certain that as with most 5 fingered folk, there will be both nasty and nice spirited 6 fingered folk.
Instinct leads me to a positive opinion of 6 fingered people. Diversity is wonderful and difference should be welcomed, valued and celebrated. It's the one thing we all have in common.
Anne Boleyn had 6 fingers and they didn't do her any harm - admittedly she ended up with no head, but that was due to alleged witchcraft, adultery and incest, or moreover being married to a murderous faqer. Sadly not everyone respects diversity and some uninformed people use difference as a reason to discriminate. One Orlando-born guy called Domer, was recently barred from a Guitar Hero tournament as it was considered that having 6 fingers gave him an unfair advantage. Madness.
This faqer believes that we should be keenly embracing difference, whatever that might be; six fingers, three legs, two noses or one eye. There's room in the world for it all.
