That's about the level I'm at with my right hand, but I'm not sure either of us would qualify as truly ambidextrous.
Yeah. That's why I went with almost. I could pass writing if something ever happened to my right hand, and with a bit of practice (okay, a whole lot) I could at least write with my left pretty well.

Born a lefty, but the nuns beat that out of me in pre-school and I can't write with my left hand anymore.
After thirty years, I was re-united with family at the other end of the country, and *everyone* is left-handed. I felt like such a freak at Thanksgiving!

Whoa. Hearing that teachers are STILL peddling this kind of thinking in my lifetime and getting away with it makes me .
When my Dad was a kid, his Mom yelled at his public school principal after finding out that they were forcing him to use his right hand; then labeling him "slow," "antisocial," et al when he understandably had problems.
My Dad was the only other Lefty in our immediate family, though he managed well with the right hand when he had to.

The other thing is, I started out going lefty, and my mother pushed me to my right. Which probably does explain a little as to why my writing has always been "bad."

I'm in my 40s, so it might not have happened during your lifetime.

As a jazz fan, I only found out today that Ornette Coleman is left-handed. It's not the sort of thing you normally notice in a horn player, without being told.

However, whenever I play baseball (which is rarely-to-never nowadays), I bat right handed, but throw with my left hand. Also, I use scissors in my right hand. Now that I'm in the hair academy, I am learning to do all the hairdressing services RIGHT HANDED! It's going fine, only some slight awkwardness/discomfort.
Anyway, the important thing is that I SKETCH with my left hand!!

Oh yeah, I got a "calendar/planner for lefties" for Christmas and it's so convenient/comfortable for me, I can't believe it, so I start off using it wrong. (You flip the pages the other way in case that wasn't clear.)
