Creative. We do find ways, and at least I have time to practice.

when my brother brother was learning to print he'd use two pencils, one in each hand.
so depending on which side of the letter it was he'd use the closest hand.

On the other hand, as a left handed person I take slight offense to the term "Ambidextrous" as it is derived from the Latin terms of Ambi meaning both and dextrous meaning two right hands. I beg to differ. I have a functional left hand.
Actually, Matt, in a previous you already did tell us that you take slight offense to the term "ambidextrous."

Like I stated: I can be long winded! Maybe I should go into politics? No, that will not work. I may be long winded and redundant, but I do NOT speak out of both sides of my mouth.

It depends on what I'm doing:
+ I shoot equally well with either hand.
+ I can't write for crap with my left hand.
+ When I was a kid I could bat, pitch and catch with either hand.
+ Waaaaaay back when I was in martial arts, I could punch, strike and block equally with either hand.
+ I can snap my fingers better and louder with my left hand than my right hand, even though I'm right-handed.

I can only shoot hand guns with either hand. It was a requirement for my job as I taught this in the Police Academy.

A very important skill in your line of work.
