Well, as long as she's writing the same thing, that's useful. Otherwise, maybe not so much.
Impressive, though! I'm a lefty too. Nobody ever tried to make me a righty. |

writing same thing with both hands, easy. Writing different things with each hand at same time...many levels of difficulty harder.

Can she do numbers on one hand and letters with the other at the same time?

Disclaimer: I have shit handwriting
I used to wow my friends with that trick in junior high. I am a righty and cannot write well at all left handed, but if I do it with both hands simultaneously, I do pretty well. Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile |

Quoted:
I just observed my daughter (14YO, don't even ask for pictures) doing the damnedest thing. She had a pen in each hand, and was saying something about her being a great president because she could sign her name twice as fast. She is left handed, but thanks to the complete idiots in our schools and even softball programs, has had repeated attempts to force her into being right handed. So, I point out to her that it doesn't matter that she can sign her name with either hand, it still takes just as long. She corrected me, she can sign her name with both hands at the same time, then demonstrated it. My kid sister is ambidextrous, so the concept isn't foreign to me, but writing with both hands at once? That just amazes me. I guess it could help in college, imagine the notes she could take. She's got my vote. She'd be a big improvement on our current POTUS even if she signed her name "X" with just one hand. |

I know how that feels. Same thing throughout my childhood where people taught me right-handed since it's the only way they know. I ended up being a left-handed second baseman that would bat right-handed only. It defied all baseball logic but I was good at fielding so it was fine...lol
I hated those desks in school that are curved to give support to people's right arms while I had to try and force my arm on the small desk and take up writing space or have it in the air while sucked during essays since I'd get tired trying to explain my conservative answer to a liberal teacher.

I had an army roommate who could do that.
He could also sign his name upside down, which he did to drive the CQ nuts when he was on restriction and had to sign in every hour. He would walk into the orderly room and sign his name without turning the paper around and walk out without saying a word. I think he also had to empty the shitcans. |

I can too, so long as I'm writing the same thing.
I can even write upside down and backwards so the person facing me can read what I'm writing with no problems. You learn that stuff in civil service.

Actually they are basically mirror images, on one side the letters cock to the right, and the other they cock to the left. I was going to have her try writing two different things at once, but she was on to other things by then. |

There's a guy who writes with his hands and feet all at the same time in 4 different languages. The shit you think of when you live in a 3rd world country.
I'll be the first to admit she's got more talent in that department that me. |

An old friend of mine stood behind one of these for six years writing backwards. He said he had to learn to do it automatically without thinking about it, and showed me by quickly writing backwards on paper as I threw stuff out to him.

Quoted: My dad is left handed, and he had a really tough time with it growing up. Back then the teachers were even less aware of how it works than they are now. It befuddles me that to this day there are educators that actually believe being left handed is nothing but a choice one makes. My father is left handed, and spent over twenty years as an Army Helicopter Pilot, he swears that nearly a third of Army Pilots are left handed. He also claims that US helicopters are setup just right for lefties, and European helicopters are set up for right handed people (I have no idea if there is even a difference). If there is such a high number of left handed helicopter pilots, that certainly is a number well above any possible statistical anomaly. I got my left smacked by a ruler everytime I would pick up the pencil with my left. Same crap from my babysitter. BikerScout Sunny AZ |

I used to be pretty much ambidextrous; not so much after shattering my left wrist though. I can't write different things at the same time, but I can write with either hand and I usually played sports left handed. I used to shoot skeet and pool left handed until the money came out then switch to right handed.
I think part of it is because my dad is left handed and wanted us to be able to use either hand and also because I took piano lessons for years.
