If you're left-handed, it really doesn't matter much in the US. Without thinking, if you were in India, you'd naturally offer your left hand in handshaking. A thoughtful act that could be taken wrongly by many Indians. The left hand is often used for, well, how wouldya put it? Just think "T.P." in lieu of "left hand". The same goes much of the Mid-East, that's one reason for the Islamists administering justice by chopping off the right hand, specifically. It leaves the offender with only the left hand to go about all of life's business, including eating.
