Leftie or Rightie
 
Spotted this on Sky News website and thought I would poll it.

Me, I am a leftie, as is one of my sons. My mum, dad and brother are all lefties :thumbup: hey! the cool thumbs up smiley is also left-handed :lol:

I am a female leftie. According to the article most left handers are male.

***sigh*** :blink:

As with most areas of my life, I go against the norm :lol:

from Wiki:

Although ambidexterity is rare, ambidextrous people may still gravitate towards performing certain types of tasks with a specific hand. The degree of versatility with each hand is generally the qualitative factor in determining a person's ambidexterity.

:p

Oooh, maybe I am too then because I use scissors with my right hand (no leftie scissors back in my schooldays).

One thing not so good about left-hand writing is, unless you write up and over, we all smudge our print and get blackened hands :blink:

Born left-handed but forced to write with right-hand as a child and can't change now.

Strangely enough I can do mirror writing with my left hand.

Clever Madmac :thumbsup:

I haven't tried mirror writing (now scurries off for a pencil and paper) but I nearly came to a sad demise when I tried to trim my fringe whilst looking in the mirror :eek:
