@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.

and for what it's worth: if I'm still writing in vaguely latinate script, I'm not quite at operating conditions: but when I am producing what looks like romanesco broccoli/seashell/violin spirals, I'm there...
