@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. 😙

@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 I can write and read braille upside down which is necessary for a braille teacher. Also when you write braille with a slate and stylus you are writing it backward because you are literally punching every hole out from behind. I can sign my name in cursive, but if I'm going to write print letters, they are not in cursive and I have to remember how the lines go and often I write them backwards or upside down because I forget which way they point. Also my handwriting looks like that of a particularly hyper six-year-old. I can read raised print such as the numbers on a credit card with my fingertips but writing is harder because I don't do it but once every few years.
