isn't it called epidextrous? i can write both left and right handed. though i am predominantly a right handed writer. if i wrote left handed, i could probaly write a third of the pace right handed.

ambi/epi dextrous people can write equally well with both, at the same speed. I saw that on Amazing Facts once. :D

What's the difference between epi/ambidextrous?

i think epi is when you are proficient with both hands, whereas in ambidextrus means maybe only dominantly proficient in one hand?

well as you learn how to write left handed, you follow the same procedures. that is why i can write legibly enough, and also write qucik enough, in a way that i can write in a decent amount of time. however, you just follow the same actions, nonetheless.

Dictionary.com response:
- epidextrous: does not exist
- ambidextrous: Able to use both hands with equal facility.

Is the ability to write with both hands genetic or does it just come from using both hands equally?

I was right!
Yeah!
Amazing Facts wins again!

I think its genetic....
Maybe a disorder...*rambles on about some Darwinian theory*
