Me? I write left-handed....but I do everything else right-handed. When I paint I use my right hand unless it's detail painting on something small then I switch to my left hand. I throw, eat, swing my detector...everything else right-handed.
I work in a neon sign shop. At one point a few years ago, over half of the employees were left-handed, which was weird because only 8 to 15% of the population are left-handed. I just think it was because we are more coordinated and able to work with both hands.....and I think lefties are more artistic.
Here's some interesting fact about left-handedness.
Approximately 8 to 15% of the adult population is left-handed.[1] Studies indicate that left-handedness is more common in males than females.[2] Left-handedness, in comparison to the general population, also appears to occur more frequently in identical twins,[3] and several groups of neurologically disordered individuals (people suffering from epilepsy,[4] Down's Syndrome,[5] autism,[6] mental retardation[7], dyslexia, etc.) Statistically, the identical twin of a left-handed person has a 76% chance of being left-handed, identifying the cause(s) as partly genetic and partly environmental.[8] Also people of South Asian, Eastern European, Southeast Asian descent are more left-handed than any other ethnic groups in the world[9], while people of Western European, Northern European, and African descent are less left-handed[10].
