What do you call a person who can use both left and right hand?

Ambidextrous is an adjective that describes the person who uses well both right and left hands. It comes into the English language from the Medieval Latin word 'ambidexter'. The Latin word means 'having two right hands'.According to the ancient Romans, and indeed other ancient societies, the skilled use of the right hand was seen to dominate over a skilled use of the left. Ancient people therefore tended to use the right hand for valued skills such as fighting and writing. They weren't encouraged to use the left hand for the carrying out of these and other particularly valued skills. And so the hand in question came to be called the 'right' hand, because it was the 'correct' hand to use.That is the gift of being "ambidextrous".it's how they were born if you learn to write with the left hand it good to but the right hand is betterBeing able to write with both your right and left hand is called being "ambidextrous."A person who can use both hands equally well is known as ambidextrous.

In almost all cases, the hand salute is rendered with the right hand. Some soldiers may salute with the left hand when the right hand is encumbered in some way(though it is rare), for example, a soldier with a rifle at Right Shoulder Arms; if movement of a weapon would be encumbered when making the armed salute; if the performance of duty requires the right hand for use or operation of equipment such as riding a motorcycle; if it is not possible to use the hand due to injury or amputation; when escorting a woman and it is not possible to walk on her right side. There is an exception for Cavalry soldiers that are dismounted- they salute with the left hand- the reins of the horse are in their right hand.
