Hi Luca,

you forgot the "ambidextrous" option ..
Maybe that explain why we see just 9 votes out of 80k B4xers .. eheheh

My default tool is the right hand and I use the left hand as back-up.

You mean right or left-handed for writing? There are people who don't use the same hand for different actions(write, eat, cut, hold, kick...)

Yes, for writing
Nowadays, we (hand)write nearly nothing, or much less than before...

A modern definition of left-right handed should be: which hand do you use to hold your phone?
And for left-right footed: which foot do you first move when the phone slips from your hand, to prevent it hitting the floor?;)

At work, i use my left hand to hold my phone (landline).
For my cellphone, i mainly use my right hand.

For writing I use my right hand.

The problem is many do not know where the right and left.
A known always says to his wife: Spoon-hand and fork-hand. :D

None. I deliberately force myself to stand still so to conquer a few hours/days of phoneless freedom :)
It is a fact that my phones are very cheap models..eheh

"A modern definition of left-right handed should be: which hand do you use to hold" your Mouse?

or

which hand do you use on your touch screen.

Real story - I am now right handed although I should be left handed. I wrote with my left hand until in school we had to start writing with fountain pens. I made a mess of everything and then had to learn (after being in school for 3 years) to write with my right hand. That is why today my handwriting is like that of a doctor...no one in this world can read it (including me) and better that I type something rather than trying to write it. I can however still write very well and far more legible with my left hand than with my right hand albeit a bit slower. Everything else that I do such as kicking and shooting is all dominated by the right hand side of my brain.

There is a saying that goes as follows:
"...only left handed people are right minded" - sure you will catch the drift of what I am aiming at...

It is possible to learn to use the other. My right arm was injured, so I had to use my left. I was fairly good from the start, since I already did mechanical work involving nuts, bolts and tools equally well with both. It took months to get my right arm back, so my left hand skills developed.
