    I can type with both hands.
    I hear the voices inside my head. They counsel me. They understand. They talk to me.

    in highschool i slowly taught myself to write with my left hand in my blow off classes just to do it.

    in my prime i could write naturally with my left hand as well as i can with my right, i rarely write with my left hand anymore so ive sort of lost the ability but i could probably pick it back up

    I tried becoming ambidextrous but didn't get far.

    I can shoot a paintball gun amhidexterously. Theoretically I could swing a golf club, too.

    In short: not in any useful way, no

    I'm primarily a left handed fapper, can hit things pretty well with my left hand, and swing a baseball bat pretty well left handed.

    Other than that, I'm a righty.

    I play sports right handedly, but in every other way am left handed. Reading my right hand's handwriting is like looking at the scrawled requests for help from a Downs Syndrome child.

    I jerk off with my left, but apart from that, and typing I'm right handed.
    I thought I was the only one wolford! lol

    I broke my right shoulder not long ago though so I did have to use my left for most things for a while so I guess I'm slightly better with my left than most.

    I'm ambidextrous when using a knife and fork, but i'm sure that's probably the least interesting form.

    I'm pretty much 100% right-handed, and when I try to throw with my left hand I seriously feel worthless.

    I do certain odd things the left hand way naturally, such as tying knots, dealing cards and (most notably) smoking. Also shoot left handed with certain weapons.

    I suppose I am more ambidextrous than most.

    If you aren't ambidextrous with eating utensils then you need to talk with a doctor.

    I am an ambidextrous computer user. It came in handy when I was working IT and had to do a process on multiple computers at once. At one point (when we were dealing with a mass virus infestation) I put 8 computers in a circle and rolled around that circle in a wheelie chair completing the steps to repair it on two computers at a time.

    It is times like these where I start to have self-esteem.

    I don't you think you know what "ambidextrous" means. Or you are at least not using the word in the same context of this thread.

    I'd imagine your peripheral vision would need to be fantastic for this to come in handy.

    Who can't shoot a paintball gun with both hands? You kinda have to.

    Kt I think the posts you have made in this thread have been some of the best posts you have ever made.

    As for myself, I am thoroughly right handed in every aspect unless we go by Mr. E's standards.

    If you read the rest of the Wikipedia article that you quoted this from, you'd see that ambidexterity doesn't require complete equality between both hands in all activities from birth.

    I doubt that all switch-hitters are also capable of writing with either hand, but switch hitting was cited as a sort of ambidexterity.

    Ambidexterity - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    I use to sometimes use the mouse with my right hand, but now I use it exclusively with my left hand.

    Almost all lefties have to develop some degree of ambidexterity, since there are many things that are just made to be used in the right hand or many social customs that require use of the right hand, as this surgeon has rightfully stated.

    For example, in India, when you eat with your hands you have to eat with your right hand exclusively and not have your left hand even touch your food. For this reason I can use my right hand alone to eat Indian food, but I still have to use my left hand when eating with a fork or chopsticks.

    Another more mundane example cited in the Wikipedia article is can openers. I have to use my right hand with those. Likewise, with many pieces of equipment I use in my lab, the knobs are all jutting out to the right, requiring me to use my right hand to make rather fine adjustments.

    Fine....

    am⋅bi⋅dex⋅trous
       /ˌćmbɪˈdɛkstrəs/ Show Spelled Pronunciation [am-bi-dek-struhs] Show IPA Pronunciation
    –adjective
    1. able to use both hands equally well: an ambidextrous surgeon.
    Source: Dictionary.com

    Either way, the official definition says EQUALLY well, of course, my first source was Wikipedia, which is probably not the best source. I think to some people it has become acceptable to use the word ambidextrous for people who have one or more skills on their secondary hand, like a left handed person batting right handed in baseball.

    This is NOT ambidextrous, ambidextrous is EQUAL in both hands, which is extremely rare. Alot of people are primary on one side and can do some things with the other hand.

    Fun Fact: The word "ambilevous" is the literal opposite of "ambidextrous"

    Somewhat. I have a cousin that can write with both hands simultaneously. It would be cool if she could write something different with both hands. It only proved to be useful writing lines in school.

    Most players keep their right hand on the trigger and left hand on the grip. This is good if you're playing out of the right side of the bunker. If you play the left side, it's best to switch hands. Most amateurs either cannot do this, or cannot do it equivalently. I shoot 18 bps right handed and 16 bps lefthanded and I can snapshoot with both. I guess I cheat a little because I put my right hand on the feedneck when shooting lefty, but that's because it takes more weight off the trigger hand.

    Agreed. Even from the like 2 times of playing paintball I noticed how much harder it was to switch hands and still shoot.
