I'm in kind of a random mood today so I thought I'd ask what hand we all write with. I personally am in the proud minority of left-handers....

    It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.

    Yes, that would make you a lefty. In my opinion, no one is completely "ambidextrous". We all tend to favor one hand over the other. I can bowl, use scissors and other tools, golf, and operate a computer mouse with either hand, but I only write with my left.

    right. but barely write anything manually lately, ever since I'm a confirmed geek. Only when I go to bank or sign papers... something like that.

    if ambidextrous means, being equally adept with each hand then i am ambidextrous. i can do everything equally with both hands including writing.

    All of the main characters of Lucky Star seem to be left-handed.

    That's all well and good, but you weren't born with that ability. When you were a toddler did you reach for things with your right hand or your left?

    Many left-handed people are mostly ambidextrous because we're forced to live in a world designed for right-handed people. Tools, gadgets, toys, and many other things are usually made to be used with the right hand, unless it's a two-handed device.

    As an aside, a very common cause of household accidents and deaths among left-handed people comes from using devices designed for the right-handed.

    Right handed, but I do some things a bit like a lefty ... like wear my watch on my right wrist. Actually, I've stopped wearing a watch but you get what I mean.

    I voted myself as a lefty.

    I write and eat left-handed.

    My right arm is my strong arm, so I hit (volleyball) and bat right-handed. I also fire a pistol or rifle right-handed. (And I am right-eye dominant.)
