I cannot but I remember one of my English teacher at high school who could do this. Mostly she used to use her left hand but when she got tired of writing then she started using her right palm and with both the hands she could write in the same handwriting, very neat and beautiful.

I have a couple of friends that can do this and I think it is so weird. I can only use my right hand If I use my left hand it looks like a little kids writing

Yeah even I write with my right hand and if I use my left hand then my handwriting is horrible. But some people with practise have made their writings beautiful with both the hands. Don't you think so?

I'm not sure if it's practice so much as just naturally switching hands. When I was younger, I would switch back and forth for everything. My parents don't like leftys, so they were always putting everything in my right hand. Yet I still ended up eventually going back to writing with both hands, even after trying to make my parents happy for years.

Oh great that you are also able to write with both of your hands. So you mean that its in the people that they are able to write with both nights.

Yes I can. I frequently switch between hands.
When taking notes in a spiral notebook, I write with my left hand on the left pages, right hand on the right pages. It's just easier for me.
I never understood why some people are given two hands but only use one.
I don't write neatly, but both hands have the same messy style. You can't really tell the difference.
It's nice because your hand doesn't get tired when you can switch off.

I can do that as well. I write better with my right hand only due to it having more practice. I was supposed to be left though and well they thought I should be a right hand. I do a lot of things with either hand without really thinking about it. Just how it is for me. I know it drives my sister crazy cause she can only use the one.

I am not ambidextrous. I am strictly right handed for writing, but can do some things with my left hand, as most can. I can however print quite well with my feet..lol. It was something my grandmother taught me to do when I was younger to make me laugh and it has stuck with me through the years.
My mother is ambidextrous and often writes with both hands.

When I was younger I automatically chose to write with my left hand but my teacher stopped me and now I write with my right. I'm a bit more ambidextrous in everything. Like ironing and stuff like that. Unfortunately my writing now with my left is not too neat but it still impresses people no end when they see me do it.

Yeah even I have seen people insisting of using the right hand for writing. Why should anyone stop the children if they are using their left hand. Is it bad to use the left hand.

I should say the ones who can write with both hands are really talented. I mean, not quite a lot can do that...Even myself can't... I remember I tried writing with my left hand when i was yet in grade school... was funny though coz even me I can't read what I have scribbled... :P

My brother in law can write with both hands. He is from New Zealand and the teacher over there made him write with his right hand, even though he is actually left handed, because she said that this world is meant for right handed people. He was made to do this and now he can use both hands to do anything, all though he uses his left hand more. His hand writing is different with each hand. They are slanted in different directions.

I can write pretty well with either hand. I've always received compliments on my writing when I write with my left hand. The writing that I do with my right hand isn't that great, but it's actually better than a lot of people who are right handed anyway. I do write slower with my right hand, though.

I am naturally right handed but I have practiced writing with my left hand over the years and now I am pretty good at it. it is still not as neat as with my right hand but it is legible.
