Are you a lefty or a righty?

I couldn't find the word for "both" but I found "equal"

Maybe the word you want is "paridextrous"?

Same issue as ambidextrous -- it means equal rightness. Why not parisinistrous? Equal leftness?

It's a right-handers world I tells ya

i guess it would be ambiaequus.

[occb]

or ambiparilous The ous ending is added which means "pertaining to" or "contains the quality of"

ambiaequusous sounds kind of slobbery

Or how about ambimanous meaning both hands? As opposed to bimanous which means two hands. One would think someone who is ambimanous is also bimanous.

Man -- my brain hurts from remembering my classics class from two decades ago.

Lefty.

I can do some things with my right hand, but none of them well, hehe.

my brain hurts

Now, if I were to write this with my (right) hand it would go numb and I'd have to resort to learning how to write with my left hand!

When my friend, Steve (who has OCD) begins speaking about branches of philosophy and won't let me get a word in edgewise, I always tell him he's hurting my brain. Just need to share that!

well you are supposed to tye a falconry knot with your left hand but you try teaching someone who is left handed to do it
the reason yo tye it with your left hand is that it stems back to the middle ages when you had your sword in your right hand and your falcon in your left
but thats back in the days when falconry was the sport of kings
trouble is 4000 yrs hasnt altered falconry that much

It's hard to teach a lefty to tie a knot left-handed? They probably have it in their minds that they have to reverse everything you're doing to make it work, and don't even realize they're auto-reversing the moves
