Heh, I didn't think you'd actually bother to read the article before going off on a political tirade at the mention of the word "left".

Guess I was right. (Yep, 100% rightie!)

Yes.
For once plu, you are correct.
I totally didn't read the article and went off half-cocked because I thought it was about the bad kind of Lefties.
My bad.

And guess what, I'm RIGHT handed!
Surprised?

I'd be surprised if you were WRONG handed.

Also, there's about a 90% chance of someone being right-handed, so no, not surprising at all Wink

Yup.  He was really funny but is really dead.  He was also a pretty interesting cat.  Major stagefright issues.  That's why he wore those glasses.  Sometimes he'd perform with his eyes closed or even with his back to the crowd.  And he liked the drugs.  And so he is dead.

I wouldn't be irritated, but frightened.  Reagan is dead.  Then again, I don't think the dead have 'handedness'.  Meh, you're all good.

I'm ambidextrous, which I think is an odd word. Dexterous was "Right" so ambidestrous means "Two Rights."


Not quite. Dexterous means "adroitly skilled with the hands". It derives from "dexter", meaning "right hand", which in turn comes from ths Latin "dextra, but does not itself mean "right".

I'm right handed. But I am also left eye dominant, so I shoot left handed. That took some getting used to.

I'm right handed but left legged.  When I started martial arts my left leg was such a spaz that I practiced a lot to correct it.  It became my better kickin' leg.  Totally, totally not the same thing, but I'm really sorta out there today.

 I claim official status as a sinister person, but I'm more ambidextrous. I write left-handed, but I can do it right-handed if I feel like it - it's slower, and pretty crappy cuz I don't practice much, but it is readable. When I was in kindergarten, the teacher tied my left hand to the chair - and yes, this was relatively recently, in the mid-70's... (Then again, I can write legibly with both feet as well, lol.)
 I'm certainly naturally fairly ambidextrous, but more so due to living in a right-handed world. I paint left-handed, catch and swing a bat lefthanded, but most of the tasks at nearly every job I've held in my life have basically required me to function as a right-handed person. Hell, check out my work in the picture thread in the CharDev forum - I'm a left-handed person using a mouse in my right hand.

I'm left handed, but as a result of living in a "right handed world" as Mad_Jack put it, I do several things right handed.

Of course I use my right hand for mousework. I can't not use a right handed mouse.

In school I played the violin "right handed", which always seemed strange to me. The "rightie" way of playing both violin and guitar uses the left hand for far more fine movements than the right. In fact, when playing Guitar Hero, I don't use the "Lefty Flip" option, while at least one of my right handed friends does!

For most tasks though - writing, batting, throwing, bowling, whatever - I use my left hand. I'm left footed as well, if such a thing exists.

I'm curious. Why can't you not use a right handed mouse? Left handed mice exist, and they're not so huge that you can't have one in your bag if you ever need to use someone else's computer.

He probably got used to using a right-handed mouse. Not many school have left-handed mouses (or is it mice?) available. Most places you go to to use a computer have only right handed mouses.

Yeah, I think I was around 18 years old before I even heard that left handed mice existed. At this point I'm far too comfortable using my right hand for the mouse to switch.

Makes sense, yeah. There's a lot of lefthanded equipment out there, but you have to know where to find it probably.

Soccer players certainly have a primary leg, so yes.

 Actually, the hard part of using a left-handed mouse isn't so much actually having a left-handed mouse, but having a left-handed computer desk... Unless you're sitting your computer on your kitchen table or on a regular writing desk, most computer desks tend to be designed with space for the mouse on the right side. My own desk here at home has a pull-out extension on the right side.
I also faced a similar problem in school with the desks in the classrooms - the top of the desk was atached on the right side, which meant that the arm support was also on the right side. Writing with my left hand, there was no place to rest my arm while writing.

I'm right handed but I do a lot of things with my left. For instance, I play golf left-landed but bat right when I'm playing baseball, I write with my right hand but use my left to control the mouse on my computer. I guess I could be ambidextrous if I tried but I'm lazy.

I tried drawing something with my left hand.  It looks like crap.  So yeah, I'm still right handed.
