As a left hander I can do the backward writing easy (though not upside down) but I always found it hard to read. The upside down reading seems easier. Any idea why?
The example of upside down in the email link is better but I could not transmit it well.


As a teacher in high school, I've learned to do it well. The students did not think a person could read
upside down. Became very proficient in it. And had many surprises for them as well, when they thought
they were getting away with something.
