I'm just amazed at how many have been "switched". I was left handed and changed to right. I am slightly dislexic, I usually have my children "proof" my layout. It amazes me how easy they can spot an inverted square while I remain blind to it.

I am right handed and do almost everything with my right hand.
When I skeet shoot, my dominant eye is my left eye but I still shoot with my right hand. I never had a problem but others seem to think that I should have.

I am a lefty with right hand dominance.
Although I did have a teacher in 1st grade try to get me to write right handed. Some lefties and some righties only wright with that hand and do everything else with the dominate hand.
I write and eat, and brush my teeth with my left hand
I can write (but not good) cut, sew, throw a ball and everything else with my right hand. I also kick with my right foot.
So I am really a righty since I do more things with my right.
I think I have the best of both worlds. My niece is a true lefty and she gets so frustrated not being able to do something or like with cutting and such.

I was also switched from left hand to right hand in first grade. I sew, cut, etc., left handed and write with my right hand. I have a little trouble with left | right hand directions and arrow directions, especially if I am tired. Rotary cutting drives me crazy as I keep switching and getting "the glove" on the wrong hand. It is frustrating using equipment set up for right hand; I have a pair of left hand scissors which I treasure (no one else in my family like these). I find it hard to reverse instructions. Recently I bought a needle turned applique book with right hand directions, of course. Nothing worked and I finally gave up for now. I will have to take out all stitches and just "wing it." I gave up trying to learn crochet and forget the MIRROR reverse method.
