Most left handers actually use both hands more so than a right hander. I'm left handed, sort of. I write left handed. I shoot pool left handed. I bat right handed, bowl right handed, drink left handed, rifle and pistol left handed. I handle things that I feel most comfortable.

That's funny.
I'm a lefty (Left eye dominant) and do the following left handed:
Write
Eat
Bat
Throw
Shoot a bow
Bowl
I do the following right handed:
golf (because when I was a kid, my father would not buy me a set of golf clubs. He made me use my mother's set)
shoot a pistol (similar situation, the only pistols I had access to had right hand grips)
shoot a rifle/shot gun (also similar...learned to shoot with me father's side eject 12-gauge. I started left handed but the spent shells kept ejecting on my face...that hurt!!!)
shoot pool (don't know how that happened)
I swing a hammer (framed houses in college) equally well with both hands. I never had to move the ladder to get to the correct side of a truss...my boss thought that was cool.
So I guess my ambidextrousness (is that a word?) is the result of adapting to my environment!!!! HA

Oh yea...I also kick right footed!!
I'm left eye dominate too. Actually as a child I wore a batch on my left eye in order to strengthen my right eye.
Golf I play right handed
I swing a hammer right handed
I bat and throw right handed
Shoot a bow left handed.
I think ambidextrousness is when one can do tasks with both hands equally well. I could be wrong about that however.
I agree that we lefties are used to doing some things right handed, just because its a right handed world. One advantage I can think of is I'm awesome at painting trim, because I can switch hands with the paintbrush.
I bat right handed, but otherwise lefty all the way.
I write right handed. I swing a hammer and golf right handed as well.
I shoot left handed, eat left handed, do most everything else left handed.
Quote:
9. Mothers who are over 40 at the time of a child's birth are 128 percent more likely to have a left-handed baby than women who give birth in their 20s.
My mother was 42, a week away from 43 when I was born.
Left hand dominance has always intrigued me...I tried to go a whole day using my left hand only in tasking...Well..that lasted about an hour..I had absolutely no control nor ability to get anything done properly...
Doesn’t matter which way they swing politically: A surprisingly high percentage of recent U.S. presidents were on the left (in terms of handedness, of course).
The lengthy list of left-handed leaders includes four of the last seven commanders in chief — President Obama, Bill Clinton, George H.W. Bush, and Gerald Ford — as well as past presidents James Garfield and Harry Truman. In fact, there’s a rumor that Ronald Regan was born a leftie, but stringent schoolteachers converted him to a righty when he was young.
I golf right-handed. Can't remember if I bowl with my right or left, it's been so long. I'm sure, though, that I was first taught to bowl right-handed.
I have beautiful handwriting and printing as a leftie, but I can do both right-handed better than most righties. I used to practice a lot in case I ever broke my left arm.
In terms of lifting things like heavy dishes and stuff, my right hand and arm seem to be stronger.
My husband, my twins and I are all left handed. My husband throws and bowls righty. My one son golfs, bats, bowls and throws righty. My other son is like me and only bats/golfs righty. I could write with my right hand if I had to.
My sons and I are right eye dominant - I'm not sure what my husband is.
My husband were the only lefties in our family, now when we go to family gatherings more often than not the lefties outnumber the righties!
I remember reading way back (my dad was really into the fact I was left handed so he'd always buy me books about left handed things) that the only thing (in the US) that favored left-handed people was the toll booth. Now with electronic toll taking that's even been taken away.
I also didn't realize until my teens that I held playing cards incorrectly. I don't understand why they don't as a matter of course put the number/KQJA in all four corners.
