> So can you? Reliably? I just tried this. I'm used to looking at what I'm writing when I write, so I can't seem to do this with my eyes open. If I close my eyes and prime myself to write one individual word, that means approximately the same thing, such as "是" and "am", I can do it. If I try to write two words with different meanings, such as ball and "椅" I cannot. My right hand starts to work and then just stops, and I have the feeling of confusion arise. > Btw, havent you made a tactical error? English is left to right, so kind of optimsed for righties. Chinese is top to bottom so more ambidextrous? Perhaps phase 2 could use Hebrew for the left hand? English for the right? I suppose so, but I wasn't motivated enough to relearn how to write English with my right hand just for this experiment. As far as learning to write Chinese with my right hand, I figured it wouldn't really add much to the effort, since most of my time was trying to remember the damn characters versus actually writing them. I guess I'll just have to live with two ink stained patches regularly appearing on the outsides of both of my hands :)
