Just curious, Are you lefty or righty... - Page 3

Shoelaces: Left over right and under, then Right over left and under.

Hands - Righty. Mother was leftie and nuns slapping knuckles with rulers made her ambidexterous. She could write two copperplate letters to people at the same time with two pens.

I'm mostly a lefty except I throw (and bat and golf) right handed. As a result I have more strength in my right hand so I tend to rely on my right hand for anything that needs strength. But when it comes to dexterity, what little of it I have is in my left hand.

Though I'm trying to train myself to shoot pool (left handed, currently) ambidextrously.

I favor my right, usually - I never considered myself ambidextrous, simply because I haven't exactly tried, but for some reason, I have almost always eaten left handed, I skate and snowboard with the left and I tend to favor it. I've never, ever, ever tried to write with it, and I imagine I'd be pretty horrible at it.

President Garfield was ambidextrous. He could write a text in Latin with one hand while simultaneously writing the same text in Greek with the other.

Well, in this highly unscientific sampling, the LoT community is running at a slightly higher percentage of lefties than most estimates of general lefty population (which usually run between 8-15%).

Hold the magazine (or remote)?

That is surprising considering we are such a balanced scientific sample

Right-handed. But I use a mouse left-handed most of the time. It seems like such a waste of time to have to move your hand back and forth between the mouse and the keyboard. And the switched mouse settings annoy people who try to use my PC.

So you swap the mouse buttons when you have it on the left side?

What baffles Lani is that I can move the mouse to either side, not change the button settings and use it just as proficiently.
