I don't think I've ever but written (badly) right
handed. I can't recall ever trying it left handed
or being "corrected".

I type with both :) - I can write with both,
though the left is shakier. Neither is especially
legible, except that more care is taken with the
left.

I ain't sure which way is lefty for shooting or
shaping clay. I throw righty, kick righty; but
swing a bat or club lefty. I handle a sword and
racket righty. I can play the whistle either way
(but not anything stringed); and can do french
horn a little, which is always lefty, curiously.

At work, I do almost everything lefthanded.
