Following from the PC thread, I will protest that this survey neglects the needs and feelings of those with no arms.

Right-handed, but my writing & the way in which I hold pens/pencils are very "lefty." (Funnily enough, I used to ice skate, and other skaters would assume by the way that I skated that I was left-handed.)

I'm a southpaw, but I never let my right hand know what my left's doing - and vice versa.

The 20% responding who are left handed seems high - is there a correlation between choosing "the road not taken" , TEFL and left handedness? (you know that stuff about left handers being creative etc. not sticking to routines .

Dear sarina,
Naw - all it means it that left-handers are more prone than right-handers to answering silly poll questions.

Southpaw John
