Writing Right
Here we go.
Here is an interesting fact. Leonardo da Vinci was left handed, but he wrote backwards. He wrote from the right side of the page to the left side of the page. And he didn't write the way we write. He practiced what was called 'mirror writing.' He actually wrote backwards. So if you held up a mirror to what he wrote, you could read it. If you ever read The Da Vinci Code, then you know this already.
I thought this was kind of interesting. Then I remembered when we were kids in school, every kid that was left handed was forced to learn to write with their right hand, almost without exception.
This is hardly ever done now.
But back then there was a very good reason for it.
There was a practical reason for it, which for the most part, does not exist today.
What was that reason?
