I must have typo'd, although I don't know how since I just inserted an 'e' to google dexterocentric!?

Well damn. I wonder which of us used the word first. In this vein, I suggest another word I invented for my daughter's benefit: ambisinister. This word describes anyone who is primarily left-handed but who can use his right hand almost as well.

Kinda like the individual, yet cosmically concurrent, discovery of fire, huh.

Course birdfeed's definition is kinda at odds with Anu's.

Yeah, I meant it as merely a description with no connotations. I was trying to fly in the face of, well, dextrochauvinist tradition, as expressed by the connotations of words like maladroit, gauche, sinister, etc.
Honest, Officer, I never seen the word before.

A warm welcome from the top of the world, birdfeed. Any friend of the ASp is certain to be asset to us all. Nice word, that dextrochauvinist, I shall use it often. Your "ambisinister" crusade is a noble cause, one that has been played out here before by some of the Elect, but sadly the cause appears to be lost. Never mind, if you remove the ordinary and banal from the world, we're what's Left. Dieu et mon gauche.
