Well, it may be, but my left hand makes and repairs furniture, makes stained glass windows and I am a LEFT HANDED drummer (I always got stuck at the end of the drum line so my drum didn't bang against the righties' drums.
I'm pretty ambidextrous, but in a 90% rightie world you have to be. I play golf righthanded but am a switch hitter in baseball.
I am also left foot dominant. Again, as a leftie you must learn to live in a righthanded world.
I am right eyed for photography, but left eyed with a rifle and pistol.
