As a consequence my mother writes "under" the line as opposed to "over" the line. The picture, in this thread of Obama writing is an example of the more common writing over the line. I wish I could find a picture of the other way.
For reference, a right handed person writes under the line: Their hand is under the line they are currently writing.
Anyway, does any other lefty write under the line? Or is that just a thing of the past? |
Wouldn't know how to do that... at least not in a way that is fast, but that's most probably because I didn't learn it that way. Also my writing leans to the left when I try to do that
