I write right-handed, but I hold my knife and fork left-handed, and am ambidexterous with a computer mouse.

I so wish I were ambidextrous with a mouse. My left hand is deeply stupid.

Do Australians eat like the English (keeping their fork in the same hand and cutting with their dominant hand) or like Americans (swapping their fork to their dominant hand after cutting)?

HEEE. I had to ring a couple of people and ask them if they swap hands after cutting, because I feel like I am not a good yardstick what with being (mostly) right-handed and eating left-handed!

Australians (well, at least all the ones I know) keep their forks in the same hand after cutting - we don't switch to our dominant hand.

Can I just say that I find it REALLY WEIRD you guys cut your food then switch your fork over?! I didn't know you guys did this! o.O

I totally eat like a Brit (and an Aussie, apparently *g*) now, though I probably used to eat like an American. A lot of the Americans I know actually cut everything first, to save swapping and swapping and swapping. It is a huge waste of time and is quite odd. I don't know why it evolved that way!

ALSO, I wasn't automatically ambidextrous with a mouse; I had to LEARN, and it was HARD and SLOW and took me a while, but I had to because I had pretty bad RSI for a long time. Now I can swap over every month or two no worries and am as good with either hand!

Do you reconfigure the mouse so you forefinger click to left click and second finger click to right click? or did you learn to do different fingers with different hands? That is my main issue. I really only want to do it in the rarest and briefest occasions so it would not be worth it to reconfigure the mouse. But it's so hard to left click with my second finger!

Oh, no, I couldn't be bothered swapping the mouse buttons around! See, I am TOTALLY LAZY like I said in the meme. *g*

I don't have any difficulty with using my middle finger to left-click! Weirdness. My brain is obviously not normal. Or something.
