Okay! Well, I just felt like flinging the question up... anyway, this question is about HANDWRITING. If you want to discuss handedness for other things, discuss them, but the vote is purely about writing.<br><br>By the way, I would like to see people indicate SOME hand preference, so I seperated the ambidextrous choice into three, the middle being for those who really have no preference whatsoever.

I'll have to say Ambi-Left<br><br>While I write only with my left, I can do absoultly anything either left or right so I assume I could teach myself to do the same with writing.

I'm right-handed and can't write otherwise. I tried writing with my left hand, but until I get the 20+ years of experience the other hand has, it's still going to look like kindergardener handwriting.<br><br>On the other hand, almost everything else I do I use both hands equally. I've had some people point out that I do some things, like sorting money, "backwards" or "left-handed." Which leaves me with the odd question: "there's a <i>right-handed</i> way?"
Still mostly here.

All motor functions are performed with my nose; I have evolved beyond my hands.

Eh, ambi-right, I don't really care, I'm just SO skilled, I can write with either hand. Fear my multiple talents. <!--emo&:P--><img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... tongue.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tongue.gif' /><!--endemo-->

Strongly left, the only exceptions being when using both hands for typing, and simple use of the mouse (i'm horrid at FPSes and the like with a mouse). My mother and brother are both right handed and my father is ambidextrous using them equally.

I have no idea. I can do things good with my left and other things good with my right.

I write with my right hand. I've tried writing left-handed before; the results were somewhat less than legible.<br><br>Other things I can do with my left hand. When I eat with a knife and fork, I leave the fork in my left hand instead of switching it back to my right hand. I've always eaten that way. It used to drive my mother crazy. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... iggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo--><br>
