I just saw my wife do this for the first time last night. She was writing in a Thank You card with the card turned 90 degrees from what would be typically. She was writing from (to her perspective) the bottom of the card to the top, but each letter was turned 90 degrees so it looks fine from the side.
I’ve known her 20 years (dating or married for 19 of those and lived together for 10 years) and I was amazed to see her do something I’ve never seen before.
Can anyone else, or know someone who can, write like this?
Is your wife a leftie by any chance? Coz I am and this is more or less how I write. It prevents your left hand from rubbing on the still fresh ink and making a mess.
She’s not - interesting, though. I guess it still might help a bit for a righty. Thanks for the perspective.
A while ago I taught myself how to mirror write. It wasn’t that difficult once I started thinking in terms of letters going forward and backward instead of left and right, e.g. b faces forward and d faces back. I wonder if something like that would work for writing at 90°.
She’s pretty crafty and good with spatial reasoning - it wouldn’t surprise me if she just picked it up.
Good on you - that sounds nearly impossible from my pert
I only write like that. I can’t write right and I’m right-handed.
Good to know there are others - thanks
Lefty here, and I can so too. I could even write upside down but that has been a while
I feel better that I’m not necessarily married to an alien - thanks
