So you're saying you're cross-handed?
Well, in my neck of the woods, if you weren't equally facile with both hands, but did somethings well with one hand, and other things well with the other, we used to say 'mix handed'. However, after googling both 'ambidextrous' and 'cross-handed', it seems like I would indeed fall under the 'cross-handed' group. :wat:

Hmmm . . . you say here that you were born in 1981, which makes you two years younger than I am. I still identify as a beatnik! So are you ageing too quickly, or am I just growing up too slowly? :wat:

EDIT: Also, I love this line: "Unless I am being pessimistic: then I envision Poland as a nuclear wasteland after an invasion by Putin’s Russia."

Given the above, I guess I’m slightly cross-handed too.
There are many things I do equally well with either hand.
There are even more things I do better with my right hand.
And there are a bunch of things I need both hands for.
But there are just a few things I do better with my left hand.

I'm somewhere between a decade to a decade and a half older than gestaltist. Not to (mis)speak for ole gesty, but
I think he just doesn't want to consider himself a part of that hair-slicing.

Frankly, neither do I.

Also, IMHO 'beatnik' would refer to folks from the mid fifties to maybe the early sixties (¿?). Some of my eldest cousins consider themselves part of the 'Beat Generation' and they were born in the late forties and early fifties.
At least in my limited experience in the :usa: , that is.

Nevertheless, being born outside of the traditional/stereotypical temporal confines of the Beat Generation, yet choosing to be part of the Beat Generation, is completely okay by me.
[;)]

SInce I like and resonate with a number aspects of various subcultures, I'd say I'm a Bowie/Prince/Dr Who
multi-subcultural regenerational.
Good Gawd, that's a mouthful [>_<]

Perchance chrono-chamæleon is just a tad less biggerer and less byzantine (or not).
Mayhap misfit is shorter and more apt, though not necessarily better. :roll:

Honestly, I would default to the TOFĐB group at the drop of a ha'penny. [:P]

No need to seize 'em at the base of their snarglies: let the 'french earthling' have their say. Clearly lsd must be the fourth Conehead.

I don't think there's too-quick or too-slow aging. I find subcultures juvenile and don't identify with them anymore. It's how I feel about them.

And thanks for linking to that earlier post of mine. It mentioned Lirsh - a conlang I forgot I even had.

* right-handed 69,57%
* neurotypical 52,17%
