I feel it just a matter of training. I decided to write with left hand only six years ago, today I can hardly differentiate between the notes written by either. This occured to me that in Taekwondo class, I was trained to use both hands and legs effectively, why not in writing? I believe legs can be trained to do anything if need be.
