I'm right handed, but have always been able to play many games equally well with either hand, Tennis, Racquetball, Ping Pong and Bowling to name a few.
Two of my children are left handed or so they claim. I say they are right-handed. They argue that since they write with their left hand that they win this argument and they are in fact left handed. I told them only one thing determines whether you are left-handed or right-handed and it is not writing. They looked at me puzzled and asked me what I'm talking about. I asked them the definitive question. Which hand do you use to clean your backside? I won the argument. Does your answer to the poll change if my question is the determining factor? |

From that article : "Identical twins often have different dominant hands, Llaurens said."
Which is support for my point, handedness is a learned preference not a genetic reality. |

There may be a subtle bias to this poll since it was started by a lefty and the stated purpose was to see if this population has a higher-than-average lefty-to-righty ratio. I can easily imagine that lefties would be more inclined to chime in as a gesture of support. Then again, I've often been told that I have no imagination. I'm right handed.

I don't understand why a poll like this wouldn't just remain open. |
