Wrong.
Err, I mean left. It makes for some rather unique-looking (and smudged) handwriting and Kanji. But, I'm also ambidextrous inasmuch as I write left, but do everything else right. Kick, bat, throw, mouse, scissors, yo-yo, etc. I'm not sure which wrist I'd put a watch on.

Right for just about everything. I'm left-eye dominant so I shoot left handed.

Just fyi, all lefties are a bit ambidextrous, being forced to conform to a righty's world. True!
I use my left for all precision-related activities (writing, drawing), while using my right for power (throwing). Also, righties are inferior. True!

Mine is REALLY crappy. It is why I type everything. Notes to people, lists, phone numbers, etc.
I thought ambidextrous meant one's ability to write or draw with both hands, not that one can write with one hand and do other things with the other. Cause you know, lots of guys do most things with their right hand, but then they might wipe their ass with their left. That doesn't make them ambidextrous.
Yeah, it's using both hands equally for everything. "A bit ambidextrous" makes enough sense though. And I figured that those people that used their right hand for some things and their left hand for others were pretty much ambidextrous since they don't strictly use one hand over the other.Pellham said:
What does left-handedness mean, practically speaking? Medical literature reports that lefties more accident prone, are more likely to have their fingers amputated by power-tools, suffer more wrist fractures. Lefties are more susceptible to allergies, auto-immune diseases, bed-wetting, depression, drug abuse, epilepsy, hypnotism, low birth weight, schizophrenia, sleeping disorders, suicide attempts, and certain learning disabilities. Lefties are six times likelier to die in an accident, and four times to likelier to die while driving.
) while righties don't care. That's why its so close.

I do everything but write left handed.

Most of those ambidextrous should really be counted as left handed...
It's just a natural function of living in a world where for alot of products, we might specify a handedness to them, but in reality they can be used initially at least without any handedness concerns.
Most lefties would probably operate on the left for fine motor control, such as chopstick use, drawing and anything similar that doesn't have a handedness priority (like scissors and mice do), and right for everything else.
A true ambidextrous is able to switch back and forth between left and right hands for all activities without needing to practice... similarly they can switch from right handed to left handed mouse usage easily... something I think isn't true for lefties accustomed to right handed mouse use.
Yeah, I know. I didn't count everyone that said they used their right hand for some things and their left hand for others, just the ones that were split pretty evenly.Zaptruder said:

I know it's not the exact definition of ambidextrous, but you couldn't classify them either way. Well, maybe Kiriku, Dormer, and Joe. But they're close enough. And I'd have to put slayn in the right camp.GDGF said:

Left I think, I write with my left but as a child I was forced to use my right hand so I can write with both. I throw with my right, bat right handed, eat with my left and um...most other things with my left hand.

Right-handed. I can't really do shit with my left, not even wank. Boo!
