But when you're using just a fork, you will switch it form your left, to your right.
Please explain.
Handedness is better (faster or more precise) performance or individual preference for use of a hand. Handedness is not a discrete variable (right or left), but a continuous one that can be expressed at various levels between strong left and strong right.
While in an ordinary disclosure the terms left and right are used to define handedness, there are actually four different types of handedness that include: left-handedness, right-handedness, mixed-handedness, and ambidexterity. Globally, roughly 12% of men and 10% of women are left-handed.
Right-handedness is most common. Right-handed people are more skillful with their right hands when performing tasks. A variety of studies suggest that 70–90% of the world population is right-handed.
Left-handedness is less common than right-handedness. Left-handed people are more skillful with their left hands when performing tasks. A variety of studies suggest that approximately 10% of the world population is left-handed.
Mixed-Handedness is the change of hand preference between different tasks. This is common in the population with about a 30% prevalence.
Ambidexterity is exceptionally rare, although it can be learned. A truly ambidextrous person is able to do any task equally well with either hand. Those who learn it still tend to favor their originally dominant hand.
Ambilevous or ambisinister people demonstrate awkwardness with both hands. Ambisinistrous motor skills or a low level of dexterity may be the result of a debilitating physical condition.
And a fun fact
International Left-Handers Day is held annually every August 13. It was founded by the Left-Handers Club in 1992, with the club itself having been founded in 1990. International Left-Handers Day is, according to the club, "an annual event when left-handers everywhere can celebrate their sinistrality [meaning left-handedness] and increase public awareness of the advantages and disadvantages of being left-handed." Again according to the club, "in the U.K. alone there were over 20 regional events to mark the day in 2001- including left-v-right sports matches, a left-handed tea party, pubs using left-handed corkscrews where patrons drank and played pub games with the left hand only, and nationwide 'Lefty Zones' where left-handers creativity, adaptability and sporting prowess were celebrated, whilst right-handers were encouraged to try out everyday left-handed objects to see just how awkward it can feel using the wrong equipmen
Yeah, have read those. ♦ Feels good to be just one of the 10% of the world population. Your left hand suddenly feels like Epic Item in some sort of MMORPG game. ♠_biggrin:

What about when you're using just a knife?

It's not about the fork
We use the knight with our right hand because it's harder then navigating food to your mouth. So do the difficult thing with right! When the difficult thing is out of the picture we switch… Easy no? ♦
Btw most people that cut with the wrong hand usually have an horrible cutting skill
most of the time the meat isn't cut but shred into pieces.
♠_cool:
In the US, it is very common for people to hold the fork in the left hand while cutting, put down the knife, then switch the fork to the right hand for eating.
It is less common in Canada.
In "formal" dining here, etiquette holds that you hold the fork in the left hand, knife in the right.
Invariably, both the "switchers" and the "non-switchers" get all snobbish about it.
<sigh>
I don't care HOW they get the food to their mouths, as longs as once it gets there, they don't chew with their mouths open.
Peace,

I always felt you are left handed. 
Left handed for almost everything.
Use a mouse right handed, played guitar right handed & hold my fork left hand/knife right.
Never thought of trying these things the other way around. Didn't think of them as left or right handed activities. Just the normal way of doing it ♦
I was right handed until I discovered Internet Por... uh...I mean Internet Poker... 
The simplest and hardest question for me to answer.
Hint: I write with right, throwing a rock with left, playing tennis with right, playing basketball with left, playing football with both, eating soup with right ....
