I can write BACKWARDS in cursive. I don’t know how or why I ever developed that, but I do. Probably in high school, I was pretty bored, so took notes backwards. A strange quirk, right?
Now you’re just bragging.😅
“I can write BACKWARDS in cursive.”
I taught myself to do that when I was bored in college classes. Don’t think I could do it now.
Cool
That’s called “mirror writing.” Look it up. My mother, who was also ambidextrous, could do cursive writing as fast backwards as she wrote forwards. And, when you held it up to a mirror, it looked exactly the same. Her grandfather had the same skill. He would send her letters written backward. She would hold them up to a mirror to read them. You have a special brain!
I learned cursive writing in fifth grade. I can still hear my old, battle axe of a teacher instructing us. We would follow her on our lined, yellow paper as she drew a circle repeatedly on the blackboard—”1, 2, 3, 4, capital M”, she would intone. I loved cursive writing and I won awards for penmanship in elementary school.
Some of the kids’ parents weren’t so sure. One at a PTA meeting asked why their children were learning “cursed” writing.
Lefthanders (like me) all seem to have the knack to do this.
Leonardo wrote all his notes in mirror script to keep them secret.
I used to be able to do that. I haven’t written backwards in years. I only did it for my entertainment.
