Mirror-writing.
http://www.abc.net.au/science/news/stories/s1119739.htm


Chalk up one more way Ven is bizarre.

I had no idea mirror-writing was that rare an ability. I assumed anyone left-handed could do it, pretty much. Not that that's COMMON, but... um.... wow.

I always wondered why people made such a big deal out of DaVinci when any lefty could do the same thing. Apparently... this is not the case. o.o

I suppose anyone can if they think about it for a sec first.
My handwriting just sucks, in general.

I just heard that lefties were better at it.

I can do it, though I am a clumsy hand-writer anyway and my script appears somewhat messy

But reading mirror-writing is exceedingly natural for me, and writing it really isn't that tough.

I can read it. But I'm ambidextrous and I can't write legibly with either hand in the normal direction, let alone mirror-writing.

You are, indeed, special. Especially as isn't that your natural writing, like, if you just close your eyes and write it comes out that way?

Hmm, I'm a lefty, but I can't do it. Not unless I go incredibly slowly, anyway.

*fails at left-handedness* :P

Huh.

Am not a lefty, but I can do this while writing with my left hand. I'm verrrry slightly ambidextrous in that I can write passably with my left hand - it's not a horrid wreck.

Hah. I'm lefthanded, and can barely write frontwards. Seriously. Worst handwriting ever.

Yep, you're bizarre! :D

I didn't know lefties could do this... but I just tried it and it worked!
