you might want to change the thread title. when you specify that you are talking to lefties, you may keep some righties from entering the thread and voting which may skew your results.

Leftys ftw! But then again, I don't think there's such a thing as a "true" lefty...as everything is built for righties, we lefties have to learn to do many things right-handed. So in a way, lefty's are ambidextrous.

Thats how I see it. I do a lot left handed like writing and using utensils but when it comes to playing guitar or using machinary I can use it just fine how a right handed person would.

Yep.
I have pretty lame fine motor skills with my right hand, but I still can do most things with both hands.

Right-handed here.

Maybe it's just me, but FWIW, it seems to me that the left-handed people I know are all the standout creative people (artists, musicians, etc). I know it's pretty much a stereotype, but I don't care; it's true. (Except my uncle; he's an actuary.

)

Lame fine?

I am right handed. I wish I was left handed to be more like Link.

You mean Wii Version TP: Link. The Gamecube one he was lefty, as well as the whole game was reversed.

I probably should've hyphenated "fine-motor" I suppose.
Being left-handed is really convenient. You can do most things both ways.

Helps with my Mercedes, which has a left-handed engine.

EDIT: OOT Link is a lefty, that's all that matters.

Yes yes, you know what I mean

I still find it funny that they did that, flipping it and all.

I wish I was ambidextrous, that would be cool

I'm right handed. I've thought about making myself ambidextrous by doing something like tying my right hand behind my back.

I've been right handed most of my life.
Decided to "try" to become somewhat ambidextrous in, like, mid '08.
Current progress? I can use a mouse with my left hand.

I can also write a bit, almost as fast as with my right, but it's still sloppy.

I used oversized pens at first. Those big joke pens you can buy.
Just trying to mirror what my right does.
Eventually I moved on to markers, then pens.
From there, a mouse! Which is what I'm using now.
It's... Interesting.
