I am a left handed person. However, when using a knife and fork to eat, I hold then in the usual correct way; fork in left hand and knife in right hand.

However, with a suite/sweet with fork and spoon, I do swop them over.

However, I have a cousin, who is also left handed , but he swops his knife and fork to opposite hands.

In chirality (handedness) , there are degrees of handedness. I am 96% left handed. I do most things like hold a pen/write, use a brush left handedly.

Similarly, right handed people will also occasionally exhibit left handedness.

There are degrees of handedness in both right handed people and left handed people.

It is very rare for a person to be totally right handed , or totally left handed, or even more rare to exhibit 50% L & R handed ness.

Our nearest biological relatives, chimpanzees and gorillas are also known to exhibit degrees of chirality. It is NOT unique to humans.

As a left hander, I am often referred to as being 'cack-handed' or 'gammy-handed', or 'cuddy-woofter' (Scottish vernacular).

More correct terms for chirality are, for right handers, you are 'DEXTER'. and for left handers, you are SINISTER. So I am a sinister person. These Words come from medieval French.

There are some notable people who are left handed ; Adolf Hitler, Julius Caesar, Bill Clinton.

As left handers our cerebral lobes work opposite to right handers, so we do and think differently.

Finally, there is a 'web site' for left handers.(sinister people).
