Wikipedia facts Wrote:Left-handedness is relatively uncommon; 90 to 93 percent of the adult population is right-handed.
left-handedness is more common in males than females.
Left-handedness, in comparison to the general population, also appears to occur more frequently in both identical and fraternal twins, and several groups of individuals with neurological disorders (such as people with epilepsy, Down Syndrome, autism, mental retardation and dyslexia).
In adulthood, left-handers were often shunned by society, resulting in fewer marrying and reproducing.
left-handed [are] more likely to die in accidents as a result of their "affliction", which renders them clumsier and ill-equipped to survive in a right-handed world. maybe more later?
and, if your left-handed, who else in your family is?
as for me, only 1 cousin, and everyone else is right handed.

I'm left handed. Though, I shoot (both rifles and bows) right handed.

Left handed.
Hurray for 2 recessive alleles.
Edit: But I kick soccer balls with my right foot, hold scissors with my right hand...hold the mouse right handed, and shoot bows right handed. Not sure about guns, but I guess so.

No one that I know of is completely left handed in my family - except for me. My grandpa, however, is ambidextrous.

I am left handed, but use my right hand for mouse clicking, bows, and other stuff.
I didn't realize that other people who are left handed use their right so much.

How is it pretty much anyone you meet is right handed, but this poll shows more left handed people?

Damn I wish I was left handed or ambidextruous. My left hand is clumsy and no matter how much I practice my apm on starcraft is much lower then my left handed friends.

Yeah, exactly. It's pretty bad wording. It should have really said "Which hand do you write with?" or something like that.

I'm a leftie and the only one in my family =.=
The only things I do right handed are use a mouse, shoot bows and play guitar and how come there's so many lefties in this thread?

Yep.
Also. I'm sad to see the lack of ambidextrous people in this thread. Of course there are even fewer ambidextrous people than there are left-handed people so it's not a surprise.

lol Rob. I knew you'd be.
Apparently a lot of math teachers are left handed.
Personally... I write with my right hand, but my fingers are WAY better coordinated in my left hand. I notice that a lot in things like stepmania. My left hand does exactly what it is supposed to, and my right hand just does its own thing

In stepmania, when I get fast notes its usually my right hand that can't keep up with them. But with co-ordination, both hands in SM are perfectly fine.
