Just curious - I'm left-handed. What are you? Left handed? Right handed? or ambidextrous?

Well, if you're playing baseball, there's an advantage to hitting left-handed due to the fact there are more right-handed than left-handed pitchers. The biggest advantage to this is versus the curveball and the slider.

cowdom Both. Write with my right, but eat with my left and I can't use a mouse with my right hand - awkward. I think it's from being the only right handed person in the house growing up, and I watched everyone else using mostly their left, so I did, too.

I write left handed and do just about everything else right handed. I can play pool with either hand, I can bowl with either hand but with baseball I have to catch and throw with my right hand. Makes it kind of hard to catch a ball and then throw the glove off and then throw it. LOL!

There is a brilliant book called Right Hand, Left Hand by a scientist called Chris McManus. I picked it up for a quick look and got hooked, so I bought it. It suggests a reason for why we use the hand we do, and is packed with loads of info about handedness/brain function. If anyone is interested I heartily recommend it.

I'm right-handed.
Not so long ago, the place I work at had a total of 7 full-time staff and 5 of them were 'sinisters' (lefties). Maybe I attract them somehow? :)

Right-handed here. I did read somewhere that left-handed people tend to be more creative. Also that forcing someone to be right-handed when that person is naturally left-handed can result in stuttering.

I'm left-handed. At school I used to always knock into the person next to me when we were writing!

sportsfanmas Funny story actually. I'm left handed, but I do most everything except throw and write with my left hand. When I played baseball, I threw left and batted right. In first grade I broke my left arm and had to use my right hand to write. My family thought I wrote so much better right handed, but I thought it looked terrible. They were hoping I would continue writing with my right hand after I healed, but alas I went back to left hand.

I'm so right-handed that if my left hand fell off I probably wouldn't realize it until I went to button up my shirt!

My husband was predominantly tight-janded but could use his left hand for many tasks, too.

Our older son is right-handed and our younger son is completely ambidextrous.

Do not read anything sinister into 'tight-janded'. That's just me making typos. My husband was right-handed.

Both. Can do just about anything you name with either hand being just as good as the other hand.

I'm right handed. When it comes to baseball, golf, and hockey I'm left handed. I hated that fact in hockey in gym class. All the kids would bend the sticks to the left side. So when I played I had to try to bend it back. Plus if you bend it you can only play with one hand. You need to be able to shoot left or right in hockey. I could shoot both ways but preffered left.
