I'd have no idea. I am left handed but when at the dinner table the fork remains in my left hand and the knife in my right, no matter what I am doing (cutting, spreading, or shoveling food in my mouth LOLOLOLOL).I am right handed, however at meal times knife in left fork in right, when applying a spread the knife is in my right. Apparently this is odd
I´d have thought that´s what I´d do, being a total lefty. But no. Classic table etiquette puts the fork (forks) on the left and the knife (knives) on the right, and that´s what I had to learn. These days, unless you´re invited to the Coronation, all that irritating etiquette has gone down the drain.I am right handed, however at meal times knife in left fork in right, when applying a spread the knife is in my right.

I'm even okay with the fact that you Brits drive cars with steering wheels on the wrong side of the car, and drive on the wrong side of the road.
I just wonder why on earth that happened. I think the only countries in the world who drove on the left were the UK, Japan and Sweden (and Sweden changed).
Well most fine dining in the US it's still the same. At casual eateries they often wrap the flatware (or plasticware, LOL) in a paper napkin, and even some nice restaurants will roll the flatware in linen, then additional specific flatware is brought with the corresponding dish.
Former British colonies tend to drive on the left, everyone else on the right.
The point that I was trying to make is "who cares which hand you use to write a letter to your mom." The only thing that matters is that you care enough to write a letter to your mom.
My mom is left handed. I'm right handed. When I cooked for my family, my sister or I would set the table. We put my mom's utensils and wine glass on the left side of her plate. We never gave it any thought, we just did it.
I am a big believer in science. Actually science doesn't care what I believe, facts are facts. But growing up with a left handed mother taught me that what hand is dominant is trivial. Hey, I'm even okay with the fact that you Brits drive cars with steering wheels on the wrong side of the car, and drive on the wrong side of the road.

If your tutor had said that to me, I´d probably have upholstered something unmentionable...
“You’re right… I embroidered the ‘U’ and then the ‘F…,’ that’s definitely backwards!”
Oh she was a one, you know the sort of bossy teacher looking to tell you off all the time!
Oh my. How very condescending of her, sheesh. I wonder if she'd gotten fired from her position at the school where she was teaching 12 year olds?Oh she was a one, you know the sort of bossy teacher looking to tell you off all the time!
On the first day she was struggling to get one of the students to use a tensioning tool. After a painful 20 mins I said you could try using it from bottom to top it would fit better.
The tutor stopped teaching looked me up and down raised her eyebrows scowled and turned away.
I thought oh dear I really shouldn’t have said anything, I’ve accidentally stuck my head above the pulpit.
Another 10-15 mins passed and they still couldn’t get this thing right.
I think hmm I’ve already apologised for being left handed and been scowled at. This harridan has marked me out in front of the class, I think I’m gong to have to go large or go home.
Eventually she does say “Try it the other way round”
Ooo I say that’s a good idea I wish I thought of that
She wooshed up to me and about two inches from my face said “Nobody likes a smart arse”
I raised my eyebrows at her scowling and said is that soooo?
A evil but smiley glint lit her eyes and from that moment on I gave as good as I got and we both enjoyed swiping at each other every class!
Definitely a jaded soul.
Yes knittings always the one isn’t it. My mum (like a lot of folk) just can’t reverse hands to do things left handed so she showed me how to knit right handed too
