I'm neither left-handed nor right-handed, so I put "both". However, I'm not ambidextrous; some things I do left-handed, some things I do right-handed. I'm not sure what the dividing line is, though it seems more arm-oriented things I do right-handed, and more hand- or finger-oriented things I do left-handed. There are exceptions, though.

For example, I would dribble a basketball, swing a bat, shoot a gun, throw a punch, etc., right-handed; however, I write (and thus draw), use kitchen utensils, etc., left-handed.

The primary exception to the above rule is with using a computer mouse, which I do right-handed. Also, about the only activity I can think of at which I even come close to being ambidextrous is with holding a cigarette, which I can do with either hand, though I generally prefer my left.

So I guess I'm bidextrous.

Eh. I'm righty. as in, I use my right hand for damn-near everything. I can't even throw a football with my left hand without looking like a retard. however I can hold things with my left pretty well that's about it [such as holding an air conditioner in my window with my left and shutting the window with my right. oh yeah I'm good]

I'm ambi. Kinda freaky. I did'nt know my right from my left when I was little and my teacher always got angry at me for using my left. I changed my hand alot and did'nt know which one I "had to" use. I can write backwards and forwards at the same time.

Since my left hand is more dexterous (ironically, dextra is the lantin word for right right) than my right, I chose left. However, I always use my right hand for using a computer mouse. I'm to lazy to recall what hand I use for individual actions.

Another weird (well not really) thing is that in most European languages, the word for the direction "right" also means "correct, proper".

As far as I know, latin for left is laevus. Of course, there might be multiple words for that, but "sinister"? Highly doubtful, in my opinion.
As for me, there are some things I can only do with the right hand (like, wielding a computer mouse), while there are others I only can do with the left hand (like, grabbing for coke bottles, playing SMW, drawing more or less round circles on paper or blackboard () and rapidly typing on the left side of the keyboard). All together, yet, there are way more things I can do with the right hand, so I voted the right ones. Although that's the opposite of my political orientation.
As for that maths stuff, we have two people in my grade who pretty much share the rank of the most skilled maths geek - me and a classmate of mine. I am right-handed, the mentioned classmate is left-handed. Usually, there is a clearly above-natural percentage of left-handed ones at higher levels of the maths olympiad (about 25%, or so I guess, at the latest "national saxon maths seminar")

I'm all right handed. If can't come up with anything I would normally use my left hand for, other than holding things. I eat purely with my right hand. Using a knife or a fork or anything else with my left hand feels awkward to me.

I'm right handed, besides typing, in which I use both hands, of course. But otherwise, I'm all the way right-handed... though it'd be nice if I could use both hands. Sometimes I wear out my right hand with writing cursive.

I'm good with my right hand.

My left? It doesn't exist. I lost it in a tragic typing accident 10 years ago.

I'm basiaclly right sided, I kick with my right foot, throw with my right arm, eat and cut food with my right and lots more. I'm able to catch lets say like any type of ball with either hand. If I'd try to use my left arm to throw something, left leg to kick, or say bat left handed, I'd embarass myself.

Sinistra, actually, from which "Sinister" derived:

I have a bit of an odd story. I used to be ambidextrous, but in about second grade, my teacher forced everyone to write with their right hands. She gave a big, long speech about how it wasn't proper to use your left hand for anything. Now, I'm mostly right-handed, but I do a few things with my left.

cowsruleusall, can you give me the address to your second-grade teacher. I feel like using a shotgun. However, I am debating whether or not to use my "Claw o' Doom (TM)" in conjunction with an obsidian cheese grater.

Hmm... this reminds me of something slightly different. Any of you guys skateboarders / surfers / snowboarders / participants in boardsports?

Most people I know with that put their left foot forwards, but I'm a "goofy-footer" meaning that I put my right foot forwards...

I wonder if it's related in any way?

I was just thinking how much it pisses me off that you "can't" shake hands with the left hand ('cept in Boy Scouts). From now on I think I will, or will refuse to shake hands with people.
