Well I'm right-handed, but Rainwife is left-handed... still she uses the mouse with the right hand...

BTW - with which hand do you hold the spoon (to everybody)?

I can do all things except write and use knifes with both left and right.

I write and use knifes with right hand.

I'm right handed. I have a right handed trackball, so I don't have much choice what controls are concerned anyway :P
I do switch around wich hand holds the knife and which one holds the fork, though.

My spoon goes in my left hand...because I'm a lefty

In my french class, my teacher said that (and she was highly into propoganda and overgeneralizing everything) most European countries and people in them cut and eat meat differently than Americans.

Most that I've seen in the US hold the knife with one hand, and then switch the knife to the other so they can use that SAME hand for the fork. My teacher was saying that Europeans keep their knife and fork in their own designated hands :eeeeeh:

Anyway, my parents think it weird that I cut my meat "the European way" :blink:

Mouse: right, Write: left.
I tend to (just like now) let go of the mouse and start typing with both hands at once (all 10 fingers at work).

As for spoons, knives and forks: Spoon goes right. Fork goes right and knife goes left, this has many people staring at me like I'm some sort of freak, though.

Well, as Seb pointed out, I write with my left hand (alhtough I can write with the right one as well, but as a doctor) but I do everything else with my right one - spoon, fork, mouse, but the knife I hold in my left hand unless I cut, then I switch - weird

It gets annoying hey?

@Frodo: Depends what hand's closest to the bottom. Mostly right though.

Though I (as many others) use a spoon in the right hand. Left of course. LOL
