Are you left handed or right handed? | Forums

Ambidextrous.

Why isn't that an option?

Ambidextrous.

Why isn't that an option?

I figure most people who would choose that option would misinterpret the real meaning of ambidextrous. A lot of us use one hand or the other for various things, many people might think that makes them ambidextrous, when really, they're not. Something like 1% of people are actually ambidextrous.

If you really are, cool sorry to exclude you, just trying to save people from themselves

Back in school I would right the first half of a page with my right hand and the second half with my left. For me, neither hand is better than the other at anything. I even have 2 baseball mits, one for each hand, lol.

1% of 7 billion is 70 million. That seems too high a number.

Haha, could be, but the world is a big place.

I'm right handed but play guitar with my left. Even though you're 'left' seems questionable with guitars.
I find it better using my stronger hand with the chords and my weaker with the strumming. Felt more comfortable.

Agree

Right, all the way

Sadly, some people are forced to use right hand because the teachers/parents believe left handed people are more stupid than right handed but it's actually superstition.

What country and what year are you from? That sounds horrible.

Do any other of you lefties write with the paper turned 90 degrees (so you're basically writing downward instead of to the right)? I'm not a southpaw but my friend does it and she says she's seen other people do it too.

I don't turn the paper but my hand is in a weird position.
I have heard from several people that I write in a weird way.
I'm like; What are you talking about? I wouldn't know how to write any other way.

My grandfather was left handed and was forced to write with his right hand at school, but that was obviously a long time ago.
He was actually able to write with both hands.

Right handed but I also do this (but am obviously writing upwards).
