- ryantgtg 5y agoAs a left handed person, it’s pretty easy for me to write backwards. It feels like something in my brain wants the letters and words to go that way, even though I never practice.
- dmurray 5y agoA right handed person can write in reverse with their left hand without much practice, by holding a pen in each hand, pretending to write with their right and mirroring the hand movements. It's even easier if you just "write" with your finger, eg on a foggy mirror, rather than holding a pen. The scripts we use are definitely optimized for right handed writing.
