I'm with oT, mostly right but hemi-semi-demi left, enough so that when faced with a new task if it seems more convenient I'll learn it with the left hand without a qualm.
Is anybody keeping score? (Indeed, have twenty people replied?) I presume there was at least one among us interested enough to start the thread!

I didn't start the thread, but I did ask about the numbers, so here's what I've got so far: L R Ambi 3 8 2(both of whom said mostly right) I'm not very good at math, so somebody better check it...

I don't post often, but read often - so I'll tell you. Mostly LEFT. Out of four kids, two left and two right. I have learned to do some things right-handed (knitting, making oboe reeds, mousing) but my right-handed writing and eating skills would need some hefty practice to make useful.

Gee, vanguard, if you tried to knit of make reeds with your other hand, would you have to do some lefty practicing? ;-)

Thank, vanguard, for weighing in!! Not at all to slight y'all right-handers, but these sketchy microcosmic results provided by etaoin prove my point. Whatever it was.
vanguard, you make oboe reeds?! We are not worthy.... I always felt if I ever played a wind instrument it'd have to be something reedless. I'm way too much the klutz.

thanks, Mr Hand.
The genes underlying handedness might also explain why our brains are asymmetrical. And left-handed or ambidextrous people are more likely to store language in the right side of the brain, are more prone to schizophrenia and , anecdotally, are more often creative or even geniuses.

RIGHT HANDED
Well, ever since the whole "chopped finger" incident anyway. I used to write with my left hand occasionally and do all my calculation (on those office electronic calculators) with my left hand.
