I am a lefty who “crooks” my wrist to write. Did you know that there are right handed “crookers”?
I have 4 children, 2 right handed, 2 left handed. 1 right handed son crooks, 1 right handed daughter doesn’t.
1 left handed son crooks, 1 right handed daughter doesn’t.
My conclusion, it is something in the brain that controls handedness and crooking - not the method of placing the paper. If I place my paper tilted to 1 o’clock, my handwriting slants so far to the left that it is almost unreadable, but if I tilt it to11 o’clock, it is vertical. I can’t write with my wrist in a normal position.
I learned cursive with the palmer method, by the way - back in the days of metal nibs and inkwells. I am not sure what methods were used to teach my children, but the inkwell was long gone when they were in school.
The brain is a mystery and an enigma. My grandchildren have not learned cursive, and I am sad for them.
Yeah, I never understood why anyone would want to write left handed...your hand covers up what you just wrote unless you use that uncomfortable looking technique.
It would make sense if you wrote from right to left...but then nobody would be able to read it, unless you mentally crafted your sentences, starting with the period and last word and wrote them in reverse.
Most other operations, I can see having a right/left handed preference. (scissors for example)
But I know several very good left-handed guitar players who use the standard guitar. They have a killer left hand for fingering the fret board. You'd think a right handed player would be better on a left-hand strung guitar.
