The downward slant from left to right in the anthrax letters have caused us some discussion time. Here is a thought. If you regularly write from right to left your hand would be trained to maintain a horizontal line. But, if you attempt to write from left to right and it is not your first language than you may have a downward slant from left to right.
Try this yourself. Take a pen and paper and begin writing from right to left. We have done it and found that as natural left to right writers we automatically follow a radius instead of horizontal line when writing right to left, ending up with a right to left downward slant.
The anthrax letter writer's first language is not one that is written from left to right.
And, Alamo-Girl, as always, exceptional, EX-CEPTIONAL research.
Verrrry interesting, zeaal!!! Thank you so much for input! And thank you for the kudos!
unless he's left handed. that would account for a slant like that. That's how my letters look when I write them.
