I can write (cursive) backward quite easily with my left hand, than with my
(dominant) right, and it's reasonably legible . I've often wondered whether
Leonardo did his backwards writing with his non-dominant hand??? Does the
book happen to mention that?
English _recorded/spoken_ backwards-- now that is a wonderment. Sounds like
Russian with a Swedish accent, or vice-versa.
