Crazy backwards writing

[talentdeficit]

i'm left handed and i write backwards when i'm taking notes i don't think anyone else will need to read. it's, like everyone else said, due to smearage issues.

I am left handed and write backwards sometimes. I wish I took it more seriously and could read backwards with ease since it feels more natural to write backwards if you are left handed, and you don't smudge ink. If you are left handed you can learn to do this quickly just messing around doodling sometimes, it is really easy.

BTW on a similar note, does anyone have weird left/right coordination? I snowboard natural but surf goofy, play the guitar right handed but throw a ball left handed, write left handed, use a mouse right handed to play computer games, etc... when i start a new sport or activity often I will feel uncoordinated for a long time until I work out which side of my brain I am using.

Yeah I write lefty but I throw/golf righty but I play coordinated games like tennis lefty but I bowl righty but I play pool lefty...basically I do "power" activities with the right and "coordination" activities with the left. Can't write backwards, though.

when I take notes, I only write in palindromes so i can avoid these type of issues

I'm right handed but "write like a lefty" - my hand drags across the page and smears. I wonder if I wrote backwards woudl it help?

Palsy.

When you're avoiding smearing, that just means you're writing from right to left, right? The kid I was watching wrote left to right, but the individual letters were facing the wrong direction.
