Strange writing
Place a piece of white cardboard against your forehead. Take a pen and stand in front of a mirror. Write a word, or a short sentence, on the cardboard. The writing will look right when you see it in the mirror, but quite different when you look at it away from the mirror. The order of the letters will run from right to left, and each letter will be reversed. This js known as mirror writing.
Now try again. It is easy enough to start from the opposite side, but not as easy to reverse the letters so that the words will be correctly written.
