Yeah, I just wanna say that, by default, my left hand is used for writing.
*Ha ha ha*, I can also use right-handed scissors, correctly, I believe, with my left hand. I rarely use my right hand to operate right-handed scissors, though I think my right hand can correctly use righty scissors as well.

Also, I, most of the time, type [on keyboards] using both my hands; however, whereas the only finger utilized for this function, on my left hand, is my middle finger, the index and middle fingers "do their thing," in conjuction with one another, on my right hand. On a side note, I only use my right index finger to input/press the majority of the non-alphabetical/punctuational keys, whereas I normally use the right index, middle, ring fingers, in tandem, of my right hand to press the Enter/Shift/Backspace/Spacebar keys, since, on my model of keyboard, they are the largest of the buttons there.

:-) Typing things like "you," my right index finger will input the "y," my right middle finger will input the "o," and my right index finger will input the "u," sorta like a wave pattern, or something of that nature.

I dunno what is the workload ratio between all of my typing fingers, and the workload ratio between my primary right-hand typing fingers, but I bet the results of a test performed to determine that sort of thing would interest me a lot!


I got a request to ask, of the drSpock people, though it won't come in question form, so here it is:

"Since there is a composite of famous left-handed people, on this website, I am curious to know some famous people that are my 'competition,' so to speak. Thus, I want a list of famous right-handed people compiled, if you would not mind. I think that's only fair, after all."

I'm glad to find out that Lisa Kudrow indeed _is_ a left-handed person, as is Bruce Willis, I saw what their handed-orientation was, on t.v., once, not too long ago, and I am glad to have what I seen confirmed by someone official. (_You_.)

By the way, it sorta so happens that I'm sorta a bright person, in my family, I am sorta adept at verbal skills, though I don't like complicated math at all; high school algebra is alright, however. Im 19, by the way, and I just wanna say that "left-handed people rule," and also that I rarely encountered people who were ignorant enough to criticize me for my left-handitude, and that one of my better friends, also currently 19, chose to be left-handed, he told me, after the whole right-handed orientation thing didn't work out for him, early in his life.

Hope I ain't come out sounding to brash and arrogant to y'all, I just was trying to be as frank as I could, with you.


Have a nice day,
Venimizer
