Does anyone know the proper term for the ability to write in "mirror image"- meaning that if you put it up to a mirror you can read it normally? I'm reasearching this right now, but I'm just seeing if any knowing hatrackers might have the answer.

i did a serious check, and everything i've seen so far just calls it mirror writing. google "mirror writing." i guess da vinci is well known for it.

[ROFL] I read the title as re-drum, not red-rum, so I was expecting a music related thread. [Blushing]

Maybe you should check with KathrynHJanitor, since she can do it. I suppose you could blow the whistle on your own post to bring it to her attention, but don't tell anyone that I said to do that....

I'm not sure about writing, but in music, it's known as retrograde. [Dont Know]

Your screen name is just long enough that I had to read it carefully before I knew that it wasn't a retrograde of Ralphie or some other Hatrackerati.
