I use my right hand most of the time, though I do catch myself using left hand every once in a while, when I am busy doing something like writing, on computer, cooking or whatever, and talking to someone at same time.

I can use both two hands to do fingerspelling... When I hold something on my right hand.

Hm, i am a right-handed but I spell clearly with my left hand.... I mainly use right hand to fingerspell but if I want to fingerspell in a slow pace, i use left hand since it is not enabled to rapidly fingerspell like my right hand. so therefore i use my left hand with hearing people and right with deaf people

Well I don't use ASL, and I use AUSLAN, so it requires both hands. But I use one hand for ASL if my other hand is tied up.

I use both hands easily and have no problems fingerspelling, but being right-handed, I use right hand often.
