I mean we a all can use both of our hands but I was more thinking about which hand you write with.Personally I am a right hander and any attempt to use my left hand to write will result in a cryptic code not even a doctor can decode. So which hand do you use ?

Right handed... But I do know a couple of people who are left handed and they don't seem to have any problems with it. Maybe finding a pair of scissors or so but besides that.. I can write with my left hand too but I doubt that anyone would be really willing to read that yet alone take that serious.. :s

I am right handed and so is my daughter. I have no idea why some people use their left hand predominantly. I have a lot of trouble writing with my left hand although I may manage other things. My mother is about to find out because she is also right handed and she is having an operation to her right arm on Friday which means that she will be left handed for at least six weeks or so, if she is anything like me she won’t be accomplishing much!

I am considered to be right handed. I can sign my name with my left. If I take my time I can wright a little with my left hand. I was in a accident when I was younger and I learned to wright a little with my left. If I would practice I might become good. Have a great day.

I'm a righty, but on my work computer, I have the mouse set for leftys, only because due to me getting tendinitis in my right wrist, it was just easier to use the left hand for the mouse. I've healed up since then, but I've just kept the setting at Lefty.

This is one of the places in life that I am happy to say that I am in the minority. I'm a left handed person and I am proud to be that way because left-handed people are the only ones in their right mind. LOL. In our family I grew up as the only left-handed person out of five in my immediate family. However, now that I have children of my own, my daughter is right handed, but somewhat ambidextrious and my son is left-handed.

I'm a right handed, but I can do something with my left hand that my right hand can't. Like I use my left hand to open the lead of a jar or something, but when I tried to use my right hand seem that I can't don't know why even though my right hand is stronger than my left hand. But I can write with left hand too but it takes me a while and it seem a little hard to grab the pen with my left hand when I try to write. But I use my right hand a lot like, writing, throwing a football ball and other sports.

I'm a lefty, I can use both hands to do certain things but when it comes to writing or using scissors, I use my left hand. I've tried to write with my right hand before and it was funny, there's no way anyone could read it..haha.

I was born right-handed but had to learn to write with my left hand when MS took away full use of my right hand. I do what I can with my right hand, but writing is not one of them. Sometimes my left hand shakes, too. I'm anxious for one of those voice activated typewriters but doubt that they'll be within the reach of us ordinary folk in my lifetime.

I am right-handed...have been since birth, however this question gives one to pause...... Scientists have said, that the left side of the brain controls the right side of the body, and that the right side of the brain, controls the left side of the body. If this is true (which it is), then does that mean that all left-handed people are in their right minds? Hmmmmm? ;-) cdrxo

Hey ronnyb! I am right handed when it comes to writing! But, there are times when I do use my left hand for other things! I am usually using my right hand predominantly, but I have noticed that for certain things that I do use my left hand! When I go to open a jar or something I use my left hand! Maybe I have more strength in my left hand? I'm not really sure! I think some of this comes from when I broke my right shoulder and was forced to do everything with my left hand for many months!

I am a right handed.I write and draw with my right hand.But I realized to my surprise when my sister in law pointed it our that I am using my left hand alone to use my mobile phone move it to my left ear.I don not not know why I feel so comfortable using the phone with my left ear alone always while my right ear is perfectly alright.

Hi Ronny. I'm a lefty myself. I wasn't always though. After recovering from a very serious illness when I was little I went from right handed to left. I've been a lefty ever since. The last time I tried writing with my right hand it came out kind of legible, though I did have to go super slow in order for it to come out this way. Good thing I don't have to write with my right hand otherwise it'd take me forever to get anything written down! LOL Happy mylotting!

I am right-handed, but during my school-days our teacher often used to get us practising writing with our other hand. Those who were right-handed would use their left, and those who were left-handed would use their right. - Derek

Im also a right handed one, but i can also use my left hand in writing. Everytime i write using my left hand, i thought i was a kid who is just starting to learn how to write.
