@Petrie: Southpaw? I never heard of that term used for left handers.
I'm right handed, though while I don't remember this, when mom was teaching me to write she noticed that I used both of my hands to write. I looked better with my right hand and I just stayed with that hand her the rest of my life.
HOWEVER, I have tried using my left hand to write recently. It looks like chicken scratch. xD
