I thot most can write with both hands, just the level of neatness & a matter of practise?

Mawar:

My DD can write with both hands but only when she needs to copy chinese phrases. She does it when her right hand gets too tired. This ability applies to using chopsticks. Her right hand is the more dominant and natural choice. When I first noticed it, and asked her how she could use the left hand, she said just practice.

.. ..Thanks Mawar, so indeed mixed handedness can be trained.
Better than ambi really.. Have to recap which hand to extend out before a handshake, remember to tilt face the right side for hello kiss.. :faint:

Definitely not very much 'smarter'.. ..Just loads of weird behaviour to entertain..

That would be mixed handed.. ..really handy..
I am curious if fluent 'mirror image' writing can be trained or one really need to be ambi..
It took years to decide which is the 'watch' wrist, and booboo of checking time on the wrong wrist.. ... :oops:

Er... I can type with both hands. Does that count?

I can write fluent mirror image. Very handy for impressing little boys who are into mirror image coded sentences. I trained when having mother tongue language lessons in secondary school.

I am actually more left-handed…but mum made me write with right hand. Subconsciously I will use my left hand first…still brush my teeth with my left hand…only use right hand when holding chopsticks and pen.

I'm sure your left pinkie comes in useful everyday too....mine does!!

i am right handed, but brush my teeth with my left hand. started doing this years ago, when i noticed that my right hand was stronger than my left, as I played badminton. Discovered it when I tried to wear my watch on my right hand and realised that it was tighter than when i wore it on my left…


had tried to write with my left hand too, but CMI…
