Today someone forwarded to me a link to the Web and print versions of Paul Brians' Common Errors in English. I have no clue how authoritative or well-regarded this work is, but it's hours of fun for me.

I'd give my right arm to be ambidextrous.

Is there a word for people who are able to use both feet equally well, such as for soccer? Ambidextrous refers only to hands because "dextrous" refers to being right-handed, right? Ambilevous, or left-handed, means "clumsy." We also say that a clumsy person has two left feet.
How about ambipedextrous? And someone with great hands and feet, both left and right, could be called quadripedextrous?
