Is anybody keeping score? (Indeed, have twenty people replied?) I presume there was at least one among us interested enough to start the thread!

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.

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.

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.

I used to write with my left hand occasionally and do all my calculation (on those office electronic calculators) with my left hand.
