Being left dominant in a right hand world makes one fairly ambidextrous.
I write left. Can swing a hammer with either, but left is more natural.
Swing a bat right, play (very poorly) a right-hand guitar.

When the right arm was immobilized in a sling from a torn bicep tendon, I got along just fine.
Recently had left arm immobilized in a sling from rotator cuff surgery. Got along fine.

When i was in college, some sociology student did her masters thesis on left-handed people. She had about a hundred questions for me. i was 98% left-handed, whatever that means.

I was born right handed. My spinal injury forced me to re-train with my left hand for 99% of all tasks. I can write with either but only my left is fully functional.

Left. My office of 60 people is significantly left handed. Not sure exact percentages but probably 3-4x.

in another part of the world..
left is bad..
my left hand has a few more scars than the right..
as does the wrist...
this comes from the flogging or tying..
of my Left appendage..
thanks to the Sister's of Satan..
may they find peace or a rash....
in a bar or prison...

Lefties are statistically more intelligent.
That explains everything.

Very right handed, but I bat and golf left handed.
When I’m trying to thread a nut onto a bolt I can’t see I have to do it with my left hand. My right just doesn’t have the sensitivity.
I wish there was no difference. I’d give my right arm to be ambidextrous.

Left for writing, and swinging a bat. Ambidextrous for everything else... swing a hammer either hand, same with welding... actually starting to thread a bolt in seems easier right handed.
My wife is also left handed, as is one of our 3 kids.

Left for writing, shoot a bow left, but a gun right. Can bat fairly good when I was young either way, but throw the ball left. Use a right hockey stick.

Right for anything that requires fine motor skill like writing or painting. Left for almost everything else. Rifles, shotguns, and my crossbow I shoot equally well with either. My compound bow I shoot left handed. I shift my car with my right hand
