Also, the desks we had in my schools all were build for right handed
writers - the tops were somewhat like the numeral 9 - you had to slide in to
sit from the L H side and could rest your right hand on the leg of the
nine - sure wasn't conducive to L H writing.

Subject: Re: Q design "validated" by Nikon's entry?
The big problem was in the instructions of paper placement. I clearly
remember teachers telling us to turn the paper so the top of the paper is
pointed toward the upper left corner of our desks. That's great if you're
right-handed. Being left-handed and kind of a perverse little kid I
turned mine so the top was pointed toward the upper right desk corner.
That kept me from having to tie my hand in a knot to write and I didn't
drag my hand through the fresh ink. Unfortunately nothing has ever worked
to improve my penmanship...

They were taught to write without curling the left hand around above the

Just learn to write right-to-left or switch to a
