    Because of this thread I tried writing with my left hand...and it is identical to my handwriting with my right hand. I really would not be able to tell the difference between the two. This means I am ambidextrous. ...smurf.

    Or that your handwriting is poor regardless.

    A little from Column A, a little from Column B.

    I like using my left hand. . .

    although I did take notes with my left hand once in english class and ended up doing really badly on the next test. . .

    I am most definitely a right sided person. It's not just my arm, it works for my legs as well. I just don't feel the control in my left side that I do in my right side, it's weird. Like playing football/soccer for instance, kicking with my right foot is natural to me and usually goes fine, but whenever I try to do it with the left foot it's like even though I should technically be doing just the same thing with my other foot it doesn't work how I want it to and I regularly fudge the ball all over the place. Though there have been occasions where I managed to get everything right with the left foot and when I do I usually manage to pull off something spectacular.

    Also yeah for my left arm it's the same in some cases. I can do most things fine with it but for example, throwing a punch with the left feels almost like it's not actually my arm because I'm swinging it but it doesn't feel like I'm controlling it, it's like it has a mind of its own. It feels a lot weaker than my right as well, even though I have found that it isn't. Enjoyed my last visit to London as I was out with James in Trocaderos and whenever we go there we always end up competing in everything, especially those punching machine things. We were on this one that rated your punch out of 1000 and we were regularly hitting in the 850's with our right hands, and then I said I wanted to have a go with my left just to see how crappy it was but I managed to hit for an 850 again which was nice, and then J who is actually cack-handed himself when he writes tried his left and was throwing these floppy 600 power punches and it was great.

    southpaw control schemes are like god's spite upon a hateful world

    As a person who's spent his whole life dogging away on righty controls, switching to southpaw is not a holy revelation, but akin to playing the game with a slice of pizza

    or maybe a toy car

    pretty disappointing

    Final Fantasy IV DS can (for the most part) be played with only your left hand.

    How so? Some of them do the weird claw thing, but I write perfectly normal, aside from the pen being in my left hand.
    PS. Your chosen font colour is evil on my eyes.

    Also, I use right or left handed scissors, and any ice cream scoop that is 'right handed' shouldn't exist.
