It's a very good question. But it would be even better if you asked other way around. \n\nBecause, people who are left-handed are right. cz left side of the brain controls the muscles and also it is a bit faster than left.\n\nBut if you ask the other way around, that why many of us do it wrong? I really don't know. But can guess that its more cultural thing than anything else.\n\nhttp://www.coolquiz.com/trivia/explain/docs/lefthand.asp

The correct position is similar to the way right handed people hold it, but almost all left handed people bend their fingers so they face their belly instead of out like right handed people because their teachers didn't know how to show them ( This may be an old stereotype, I don't know but when I was young fingers faced the belly).  In any case, if you are a natural leftie do what feels natural to you and don't listen to anybody then you won't have problems.\nI was forced out of being a leftie.  My son is ambidextrous; he was a leftie, but his piano teacher asked if she could make him use his right hand.  I told her she couldn't make him, but wouldn't mind her letting him use both hands.  My baby seems to use both hands too.  My son uses both hands with his fingers facing out not towards his belly like most right handed people.

The QWERTY keyboard was designed ergonomicallyso that the most often used keys would be appropriately placed for easy reach.  The other (not so) big layout is where the keys are arranged in alphabetical order.  I don't recomend this as a solution.  Here is another to investigate as well: Dvorak

I was once told if you are left handed you use the right side of your brain and if you are right handed you use the left side.  So, I guess it would depend.

left or right?  left, definitely.  right, i may have to ponder that for a while.  unless you're talking toes, then either one can go.

I am the opposite of you. I am a left handed but i mostly do things with my right, I've been told that such persons who use both hands for something are balanced, they don't do everything with one hand. :)

Human laterality\n\nThe significant majority of humans are right-handed. Many are also right-sided in general (that is, they prefer to use their right eye, right foot and right ear if forced to make a choice between the two). The reasons for this are not fully understood, but it is thought that because the left cerebral hemisphere of the brain controls the right side of the body, the right side is generally stronger; it is suggested that the left cerebral hemisphere is dominant over the right in most humans because in 90-92% of all humans the left hemisphere is the language hemisphere.\n\nHuman cultures are predominantly right-handed, and so the right-sided trend may be socially as well as biologically enforced. This is quite apparent from a quick survey of languages. The English word "left" comes from the Anglo-Saxon word "lyft" which means "weak" or "useless". Similarly, the French word for left, "gauche", is also used to mean "awkward" or "tactless". Also, sinistra, the Latin word from which the English word "sinister" was derived, means "left".\n\nThis linguistic and social bias is not restricted to European cultures: for example, Chinese characters are designed for right-handers to write, and no significant left-handed culture has ever been found in the world.\n\nAmbidexterity is when a person has approximately equal strength in both hands and/or both sides of the body. True ambidexterity is very rare. Although a small number of people can write competently with both hands and use both sides of their body well, even these people usually show preference for one side of their body over the other. However, this preference is not necessarily consistent for all activities. Some people may for example use their right hand for writing, and their left hand for playing racket sports and eating (See also: cross-dominance).\n\nAlso, it is not uncommon that people preferring to use the right hand prefer to use the left leg, e.g. when using a shovel, kicking a football, or operating control pedals. In many cases, this may be because they are disposed for left-handedness but have been trained for right-handedness. Shovels are usually designed to be used with either foot.\n\nApproximate statistics are below: [1]\n\nFavoring right hand: 88.2% \nFavoring right foot: 81.0% \nFavoring right eye: 71.1% \nFavoring right ear: 59.1% \nSame hand and foot: 84% \nSame ear and eye: 61.8% \n\nClockwise and counter-clockwise\n \nMost humans that are right-handed prefer to draw their circles counter-clockwise and traverse building counter-clockwise. This is thought to have come about due to a dominant brain hemisphere. [2]\n\nHandedness\n\nHandedness is an attribute of human beings defined by their unequal distribution of fine motor skill between the left and right hands. An individual who is more dextrous with the right hand is called right-handed, and one who is more skilled with the left is said to be left-handed. A minority of people are equally skilled with both hands, and are termed ambidextrous. People who demonstrate awkwardness with both hands are said to be ambilevous or ambisinister. Ambisinistrous motor skills or a low level of dexterity may be the result of a debilitating physical condition. There are four main types of handedness:\n\nRight-handedness is the most common. Right-handed people are more dextrous with their right hands when performing a task. \nLeft-handedness is less common than right-handedness. Left-handed people are more dextrous with their left hands when performing a task. \n\nMixed-handedness, also known as cross-dominance, is being able to do different tasks better with different hands. For example, mixed-handed persons might write better with their right hand but throw a ball more efficiently with their left hand. This could also refer to pianists, because different sections of pieces are usually composed to fit the abilities of

Using your 8 fingers and 2 thumbs.. the keyboard is laid out so that the most popular letters are easy to access quickly. QW ZX PL are all on the corners of the keyboards. All the vowels are under or above the 8 main finger positions (ASDF and JKL:)

The person who invented the QWERTY keyboard as we know it today...(the order of the first letters on the left hand are QWERTY) did it in that order because in the day of mechanical typewriters there were arms that came up and struck the letter through an inked ribbon and onto the paper. Because of the use of certain letters (mostly vowels) the mechanical arms would jam up and cause you to stop typing and manually unstick the arms. In the Qwerty configuration, the arms were less likely to stick as they were arranged in a manner that allowed them to swing back to their position without hitting the other arms. I am 34 years old and did actually have a mechanical typewriter at one time.....I know...I am old. But in high school we used these lame Apple Computers to learn to type with.

Its AMBIDEXTROUSLY. At least its the most common one.\nOh and SUBDERMATOGLYPHIC\n\nI was first!

I'm a little confused because you didn't say if one hand was better at doing any of these things than the other.  I can write fine with my left hand but I'm MUCH faster with my right.  I can do a lot of things left handed without much of a problem but my right hand works much better so I'm "right handed".   You're not considered truly ambidextrous if you favor one hand for most "precise fine motor skill operations", usually writing (some musical instruments don't count, like violin)  \n\nMixed-handedness is if different hands are better at different tasks.  If you write and sew better with your left hand but brush your teeth and eat better with the right, you might be called "mixed-handed".  But most people would say you were left handed since the fine motor skills were performed better with your left hand. You could call some of these people "ambidextrous with a left preference" (or right preference) \n\nOne 1962 poll found that 2% of people called themselves 'ambidextrous'.  A 1992 survey found only 1% claimed to be.  Many of the people who were polled still favored the left hand.  It is more common for left handed people to have some control over their right hand than vice versa.  They are not considered truly ambidextrous unless they can perform ALL tasks equally with both hands without favoring one over the other.  Everything I've read says this is "very rare".

Just remember to keep your left fingers (except the thumb) on the keys A, S, D & F.  As for your right fingers, keep them on the keys J, K, L & ;.  Practice your typing and soon enough, you'll be typing pretty fast.  Practice makes perfect.....................................................
