More right than left but I could switch if I needed to. I did learn to use chopsticks with my left. sjmaxq - is queer da, I like it. da reich, ja is the only pun I could come up with but it's too many languages.

Grassias. I used it because I'm curious how the Iberians ended up with such a different word for their better half. French and Italian have continued the sinister theme of the Roman imperialist agressors, where did Spanish come up with izquierda?

where did Spanish come up with izquierda?According to this site http://www.basque-red.net/eng/euskaeng/ostrowsk.htmit's from Basque: Basque ezker „left (part), left hand“ explains Spanish izquierdo „left“ and izquierda „left hand, (political) left“ (see also esquerre in Catalan and Gascon)

I'm mostly right, but can do most things fairly well, if rather slowly, with my left when necessary.

Even further than that notoriously right-wing nationalist, Josef Marionovich Djugashvilli.
