That last point is very unusual.  My wife, who favors the left hand
for most purposes including writing (but irons and wields a fork,
American-style, with the right hand) has a very distinct right-handed
handwriting.  OTOH, it's perfectly legible, whereas my left-handed
handwriting looks like a 3-year-old's at best.
