Same story for me.  I don't think it is that unusual though.  Culture is
sort of geared to the right-handed majority, so us folks who are mostly
left-handed wind up learning the things they can do "well enough" with
the right hand in the common style.  Once you've learned something,
propioceptic memory is more important than underlying "handedness."
