poll - handedness

[wisdomeagle]

This poll refers to mice proper, not touch-pads. By "write," I mean with pen or pencil on paper. If you are bisexual ambidextrous, I am sure you will tell me in comments.

If you are bisexual ambidextrous, I am sure you will tell me in comments.

Subtle shoutout to your elision of bisexuals in previous polling? :) Ah, memories.

:is so not ambidextrous at all, actually::

And my chronic inability to think of bisexuals, even though they think of me, naked.

I am not ambidextrous, either, unless ticking choice 3 above counts. Which, perhaps, it does.

::snorts at your strikeout:: God I love my friends.

I'm right-handed in both/everything and probably right-footed, right-eyed, etc. as well.

I think choices 3 and 4 above count as some degree of ambidextrous.

Being left-handed and right-moused means that I can write notes on the pad to the left of my keyboard at the same time that I am pointing and clicking.

I have tennis elbow, unfortunately, so I have moved my mouse to my left hand to attempt to manage it and it seems very odd to have it back on the right now.

However, I'm still right handed so I can't write with my left hand very easily (although I have done so when my elbow's been particularly bad).

I write and mouse as a right-hander ... but I eat as though I am a left-hander, knife and fork in the wrong hands. Because hey, weird. ;)

I am bisexual ambidextrous, but I write with my right hand for English because it is a right-handed language. When I practice Arabic, I write with my left hand, because the text goes the opposite direction and it's easier. I draw with both hands. I mouse with my right hand (a) because I keep one hand on the keyboard in case I need to hit enter or alt+F4 or some such, and I find it easier to hit all the keys with my left hand, and (b) because I almost always use a tablet & pen instead of a mouse-type mouse.

There is a (c), which is that my computer is currently set up with the CPU tower on the right side and the mouse cord won't stretch all the way across to the left side of the desk. In the past, I have had the CPU tower on the left side, and I moused with my left hand—but the mouse configuration was set to right-, not left-handed.

I hold my fork in my left hand, and also chopsticks. Spoons in my right, because I've never been able to balance them in my left.

I am the only one!
