Left handed. I use scissors, use knife and fork, and play the guitar right-handed. But they're all learnt rather than natural uses.

lorin, you can try installing something else - Firefox is likely the most probable option to try, also Chrome. They should work fine on Mac and don't have some of the problems Safari does. At least trying is not much of a problem, even if it doesn't help.

Why, that can be done with either or both :twisted:

Being off topic is no sin, but I kept it on... kind of :biggrin:

Or you can suggest a fourth option for the poll, but I suspect there won't be any people here really writing much with any such creative options.

Oh, yes.
I love to write.

I only just realized it when tutoring students... once I gave myself permission to burn through paper to show more stuff, and more clearly... I realized I actually like handwriting - just for its own sake!
"People without hope not only don't write novels, but what is more to the point, they don't read them.
They don't take long looks at anything, because they lack the courage.
The way to despair is to refuse to have any kind of experience, and the novel, of course, is a way to have experience."
-Flannery O'Connor

"In spite of much that militates against quietness there are people who still read books. They are the people who keep me going."

Outside of realm of scribbling, I tend to be right-handed except when counting pills out (a weekly task) which I do left-handed. No idea why...

Of course, this topic just begs for the following:
I admit it, you are better than I am!

Then why are you smiling?

Because I know something you don't know!

And what is that?

I… am not left-handed!

The Princess Bride! Love it!

I am a very solid left-hander. I do everything with my left, except play pool. My Uncle taught me to play pool when I was about 7, and he had no idea I was left-handed, and I didn't know enough to correct him. I play pool badly, just for the record.
