I use either left or right hand, w/out transfering utensils from hand to hand.6. Again, I use either the left or right hand.I also have no problems with my elbows on the table, or anyone elses. As a young soldier going through an orientation program for being new in a foreign country (Deutschland, in this case), I was told such behavior is not considered bad table manners. Had something to do with going back to medieval times and keeping your knife out in plain sight where everyone could see what you were doing with it (apparently assasination at the dinner table was something considered as bad table manners at the time, go figure<img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /> ).My mother has told me, that before I started Kindergarten, I was predominately left handed, but the teacher was "old school" and insisted (i.e. made) the children use thier right hands when using writing implements.Oddly enough, I write (i.e. cursive) with either hand, when writing backwards (that would be right to left with the letters facing 180*, read as normal when held facing a mirror). However, writing normally, it's best I stick to the right hand because anything produced from the left is barely legible (not that my handwriting is all that legible to begin, unless backwards because I have to slow down and think about what I'm doing). BTW, I don't recomend writing anyone you may know in prison, by writing backwards, such missives tend to be returned to the sender as the mail sniffers consider it to be in/a "code."</blockquote>
