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?
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

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.
