Letter: Letters: Write back

Published 12 June 1993

From EIRA HUGHES

I am right-handed and, as a child, I used to write backwards for fun. At the
same time, I decided to try to write with my feet (just in case). I found
that it was a lot easier to write backwards than forwards with the left
foot.
