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. 😙

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.

My uncle was a printer in the days when that was a person, not a machine.

He couldn't write mirror writing but he could read it fluently, any way up.
