I think I remember the first time I went through WS, I was actually copying the strips, loading them in an image editor, and flipping them every time one of these mirror-written balloons came up. You are saving me SO much effort! ^_^
I once wrote a whole page in mirror writing for a detention. The prefects were so impressed they posted it on the wall of the prefect’s room. Until they got a mirror so they could read it…
I’d copied one of the raunchier short stories from The Decameron.
I can just read backwards. I get mentally bored easily and try to challenge myself with things like that. I can even write backwards and I suddenly feel like I’ve written this before.
I can read backwards, mirror, and upside down text or any combination of the three. I play DnD, I’ve always thought those two things were related.
Of course I’m also dyslexic and ambidextrous, so maybe the whole concept of the direction things should go is foreign to me.
I taught myself to write backwards back in Junior High because I was pissed about a punishment assignment given to the whole class for a few rules-breakers. I mirror-imaged the letters but left word order alone so the teacher would not be able to read it by holding it to a mirror either. It seemed like a shorter and less boring study hall than usual that day…
I learned to read numbers upside down at my first retail job before everything had scan bars. It sped the process up tremendously if I didn’t have to constantly reorient the price tag to enter the number.
He he he.
I once heard that, back in the days before cash registers, when clerks had to figure out the bill by hand, my grandpa would have the correct change out. Which meant he read the numbers upside down, added them up, and faster than the clerks could do it right-side up on paper.
panel 3: “Give up. He’ll find out how messed up you are and you’ll lose him anyway.”
that is especially helpful with the black background white writing thing. Thank you
Yes, LL, I truly appreciate the translations, I can read most of them, and then I check down here to see if I was right…Thanks!!!
Now we need translators for some of the other words 😉

I’ve taken to reading her backwards speak using the reflection off a calculator, it gives it a spooky effect.

I’ve discovered I can write backwards and do it when I’m stressed.

I sympathize. And maybe it does have to do with ambidexterity. And being a former printer doesn’t hurt–type is backwards or upside down all the time.

See reply to Hinoron above. I accidentally replied to the wrong post and can’t seem to edit it…

“good news marge. i’ve learned to walk naked on stilts.”
I can read backwards fine, the occasional upsidedown throws me ;p
