It’s crazy huh?
It’s almost like the world loves displaying it’s power by secluding me to the “proper” end of the table.
Don’t get me started or to “first base” about baseball, you know, AMERICAS SPORT.

I’ve had to seek out special nibs and inks but I write exclusively with a fountain pen.

How’s your penmanship?
Do you throw like a girl?
Just kidding - it’s a pretty unique combination
I’m right handed but golf, bat and play hockey left. It’s really amazing to me that you throw with your left hand and write with your right hand. I do both with my right hand.

I've taught piano, guitar (and other things) for 15 years. I'm amazed by how few left-handers I've encountered. I know they say it's 12% or whatever, but I've had around a thousand students (give or take) and very few of them have been left-handed. Of my 45 current students, I think only one is left-handed. I don't know if that's interesting or significant. Just thought I'd share. Because I teach instruments, I always know whether my students are right or left hand dominant. If I were to anecdotally estimate the prevalence of left-handedness, based on my experience, I'd peg it at under 3%.
The left side of the brain collects the images on the right from both eyes and the right side sees images from the left.
The incidence of left handedness is about 7 %.
If your are born without a corpus callosum or have it severed, the two hemispheres have difficulty communicating.

I know. I'm not the one who called Paul a guitarist, but Paul did play guitar in the Quarrymen.
Just because I use a fountain pen doesn’t mean I’m Michael Jackson’s evil spawn.
Paul McCartney became the bass player because someone had to after Stu Sutcliff left the group.
I lean towards the sinister myself. Pistol, rifle, golf, telephone, right handed. Writing is with the left. Eating? Left handed. Bat right and throw left. Bowling is exclusively left handed . Left handed goalie. So my left, sinister side, is indeed dominant.

Interesting observations. I’m mostly right handed. However I’m left eye dominant. I shoot my guns with the left hand. I can shoot right handed but it feels awkward.
My penmanship is quite good. I played catcher, 1B and pitched a little in high school. I have more coordination with my right hand for small movements but it's more natural for me to shift my weight from left to right. I'm right eye dominant, I can shoot a pistol reasonably well with either hand. Shoot a rifle right hand. Screwed up.
I'm left handed with certain things but not everything. I write/draw naturally left handed, can't as well with the right. I bat lefty, throw righty. I kick with my right leg, play Bass guitar righty, not lefty. Snowboarding I'm naturally goofy but can (and need to) go regular. Lacrosse I tossed righty naturally at first then with practice could do left just as easily. Using a hammer/saw feels better in my right hand over my left. My wirings all messed up but since I main left hand for writing/drawing I call myself left handed.
Left handed. Left eye dominant. Left everything.
No problem with fountain pens though

I was born left-handed, but my grandpa didn't think that was "right", so he would slap my left hand whenever he caught me using it and make me use my right hand.
I guess the benefit was that I am mostly ambidextrous, which comes in really handy when needing to switch hands when using tools, etc. However, I only write with my right hand and I tend eat with my left most of the time. I also find that I typically smoke my pipe and cigars more with my left hand.
I am left eye dominant but learned to shoot right-handed, and while I shoot very accurately left handed, I always instinctively reach for my right side.

How else are we going to round you all up?
The only thing I do right handed is play the guitar. Or, rather played the guitar. It has been a while.

It’s a good poll to establish who the barbarians are around here.If you’re right handed, why are you conducting a poll about left handers?
Are you targeting the opposition?
Are you trying to figure out who the smarter among us are?
Are you trying to figure out how oppressed my people are?
Now I’m grateful I’m left handed.
Left handed, but ambidextrous where needed, ambidextrous at bat.
Better connected lobes than righties.
