I call my self left-handed for the sake of simplicity since I write and eat left-handed, but in reality, I am cross-dominant. That means that I do some things left-handed, some right-handed, and even some ambidexterously.

What I would like to see someday, in any show, would be a cross-dominant character. I can't say that I've ever seen one that wasn't just an error in accidentally making someone use the wrong hand. It's not a show per se, but almost ALL 2d sidescroller/fighting game characters are cross-dominant. Megaman can shoot with both hands, for example.

...Okay, not really a funny example in hindsight...

Generally though, the handedness of a person is focused on where they write. Almost everyone would be a cross-dominant if it didn't apply to just the writing hand. Heck, I'm left-handed, but I do 80% of my hand work with my right. hehe, not saying I'm special or anything, it is actually quite common in various forms. Which is why it surprises that nobody ever thinks to do it for a character. Would be a neat, unique trait.

(personally, I do things about 45% lefty, 45% righty, 45% either. And really at random for the most part, no real "rule" of what type of things I do which way)
