Jean,

I don't know whether being right- or left-handed is evidenced in skill, but I remember my left-handed brother complaining about things like tools, gear shifts, and other equipment that seemed to favor righties.

I'm sure you didn't intend to launch a competition but I couldn't resist. I can write backwards, upside down, mirror image, with a right or left slant. I won a drink or two betting that I could do so but otherwise can't think of a way to market this talent. This all started when I called my brother a "Jerk" by writing the message on a foggy window while he was outside

Ambidextrous is the term, Enzie, for the ability to use either hand for tasks. It's a valuable ability in sports and comes in handy when painting window sash.
