Comment on Are there people without handedness?

  Looking at the origin:
  ambi, Greek: both;
  anti, Greek: against, opposed;
  dexter, Latin: right, skilful, clever; sinister, Latin: left, wrong, evil;

  So sinister is already anti-dexter, the ambi just emphasises that this not-skilfulness applies to both hands.

    Guess that’s similar to “two left feet” when dancing

  No, ambidexterity is comfort with both hands. Ambisinestrousness is discomfort with both hands.

    They wrote antidexterity, not ambidexterity

      My brain just autocorrected it, I guess.
