Well,
M-F members, what hand do you write with???
CUrious.
I'm a leftie, and i've always wanted to know how many more people are right handed then left handed.

Writing is that thing with those things called "Paper" and "Pencil",
and there are other mediums you use for this writing thing.
Just in case some of us need a refresher since we never get up from our Mac keyboards ;D


Thanks,
Tanner.

Both...

I was born with an extra thumb on my right hand, but that was removed when I was 3 months old. The tendons & stuff that were supposed to go to my regular thumb were attached to the extra thumb, and they couldn't repair it until my hand was full grown. When I was younger I learned to do everything as best I could with my right hand, but used my left more often because it didn't take so much effort. Now I can write with my left hand, but I don't use it as much as I used to, mainly because I don't have to anymore.

Right handed here but can write quite well with my left also. I use my Left for a lot of things except can't play guitar well Left handed.

I have a friend who can play guitar both ways and he sounds as good either way. Amazing.

True.
Well,
there have been studies on this:
Lefties, because of black hands-are proven to wash their hands more often than right handed people. So while we are eating french fries with clean hands, you are eating them with your right hand after picking your nose and petting your dog and cleaning your toiled and scratching your...:Oops:

BON APPETIT!:D

Oh,
and they made this new thing that prevents lefties hands from getting black- i dont know if i remember the correct name though,
i think it was called a



pen.


Unless its like one of those pens which are like gushing ink (the kind i love).
