My youngest grandson, who is left-handed like me, informed me that can do most stuff with either hand nowadays.

I congratulated him on becoming amphibious.

Get him to write a story, at least a sheet of A4. Get him to write the same story twice, once with left and once with right hand. Share the results.

I'm right handed, but as a table tennis player and used to holding a bat in my right hand, have become proficient in catching the ball with my left.

I tend now to use my left hand for catching things in preference to my right.

Interesting! Can you catch better when you have something in your right hand?

 

[Punkawallah]

I am left handed if single limb is required but if two hands are required like cricket, golf etc then I play right handed. My right eye is dominant but I shoot left handed.

In celebration I shall only toast left handers day every other hour...hic.

Curiously, I am right handed, shoot a rifle either handed, but shoot a bow left handed.
Weird, are we not?

I'll probably get another ban but when is heterosexual white guy month being celebrated?

You missed it, it was last week.

I grew up with a bloke who played quite a few sports

he played some left handed and some right handed

golf was left handed and tennis right

he was right handed but just found his natural way of working with some devices was left handed

I'm left handed but hold my knife and fork right handed. My brother is right handed and holds his knife and fork left handed.
I guess that folk who are entirely left or right handed are rarer than those who mix it up a bit.

I think your definition of ‘celebrated’ is not the usual one.

Apparently Paul McCartney is left handed

and plays with his guitar left handed

but it is strung as for right handed players
because they all were so when he learned to play that was how it was strung - so that was how he learned
and he never changed

whilst a lot of lefty guitar players do that, PM isn't one of them.
