Right-handed, left-handed, or both?

[engineergurl]

the world isn't really designed for left handed people so many end up learning to write and cut paper with their right hand... I had a broken wrist iwhen I was younger and had no issues switching to my left hand for writing or anything... and thats when my mom and dad started noticing things like how I ate (fork and knife being used by both hands)... I don't think about it much now, my writing is neater with the right hand but I guess that comes with the years of practice

^^^ Then it sounds like he is a lefty that was just forced to writing right handed.

That happens to alot of lefty's.

I think it happened to me. Until first grade, i wrote/drew left handed. First grade teacher didn't accept lefties, so I switched.

At least that's what I blame my atrocious penmanship on.

Sounds like you went to a Catholic school like my sister, she was hit if she did anything with her left hand.

My dad writes right handed except on a chalk/whiteboard where he writes left handed.

That makes for a lot of smeared whiteboard/chalkboards...that's the only time I ever wish I could write with both hands just as well...Everytime I'm at the whiteboard, I come away with ink on the side of my hand.

I am right handed and right legged. I hiked up Bear Peak near Boulder a couple months ago, and the trail is very steep for a while (like 40% grade). . . realized later that every step I took first with my right leg and it ended up being very tired and sore. My left leg recovered in a couple days, but the right was sore for a week.

Sometimes both?

Write, bat, golf, play tennis right handed. Eat (using utensils) with both.

I eat with my left hand because that's what they do in Europe, so it is obviously better than eating with your right hand.

I think that's how my undergrad Thermo professor wrote on the board. He wrote so fast that I had a hard time writing my own notes before he erased and over-wrote what I was trying to understand. I always referred to it as writing with the right hand and erasing with the left.

Lefty here, very much dominant. I can barely pick my nose right handed.
