Can you write in cursive?
Yes, and often do!
Technically, yes. But I don't.
Only my name, so not really.
Not at all

@futurebird I was successful in concealing the fact that I could read cursive from my parents for almost a year. Much useful intelligence was gained.
Eventually slipped up in front of Mom, but it was useful for a while.

@jmax @futurebird I could read upside down and found out a few things that way :P

@geonz @futurebird Oh, yes. I have worked as a consultant, and reading upside down is an essential meeting skill. 😙

@jmax @geonz

As a tutor and teaching I've learned to write upside down (eg I can write so you can read it when I'm sitting face to face with you. )

I'm a little flattered by how much it freaks people out. But it's not hard. Just imagine your wrist is extra flexible and you are writing right side up.

I can't do mirror writing and that makes me sad... but someday I'll learn.

@futurebird It’s not much different than how you learned to write upside down. I taught myself to write backwards with my left hand back in high school. But I can only do it in cursive!

@superflippy @futurebird Yeah... ok... now to the real thing: can you write with both hands independently at the same time? 😃 I certainly cannot. 🙁

@frank @futurebird Not really independently, but I can write the same thing with both hands at the same time in a mirror image.

@superflippy @futurebird Oh, that's great! 😀 I just tried, and I see that this might work, but I am too bad at this. I would need lots of practice. 😵‍💫

I just wonder if "both hands and independent" would work with pretrained text and some rhythm... like playing piano. Ok, pushing keys is not the same as moving a pen around, but still...

@frank @futurebird I bet you could do it with practice.
