poll - handedness

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.

[Poll #773787]

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.
