I did this for almost as long as I umpired.
My left hand is kinda screwed up so I use the right and switch it over.
When I went to the Advanced Camp and for ISF, nobody noticed it until they looked at films after the games.

My pet peeve is the ump, doesn't matter what position, that has to try and be a "pal" to the players.
You ain't out there to be there friend, just call the game without being overly officious.
