When clapping do you equally slap your hands or does one dominate? Is it always the same hand if so?

Thanks for the poll request, anonymous! A very interesting question 👍 Keep 'em coming, folks 😎🧡

When clapping, do you use equal force from both hands or does one dominate? If so, is it always the same hand that dominates?

I usually use equal force on both hands

I usually use more force on my right hand

I usually use more force on my left hand

I usually use more force on one hand, but the dominating hand differs

I only have one hand or can't clap due to disability

This is a couple of years old now but my sister-in-law came to visit us for a week. We, my wife and her sister, had a few drinks and decided to have a jam session

The exclamation point has no grammatical purpose except to turn up the volume to eleven.

Standing ovations began to increase in the 1970s, which, by coincidence, was the same decade in which the use of the exclamation point increased. It wasn’t until the 1970s that the key for the exclamation point—which in some ways is the standing ovation of correspondence—was added to a typewriter’s keyboard. The exclamation point has no grammatical purpose except to turn up the volume to eleven. Language is diminished by inflation, and the drawback to exclamation points and standing ovations is that they box language into a corner with nowhere to go. The exclamation point is now used with such frequency that, like standing ovations, its absence conveys more meaning than its presence.
