Interesting.  My dad is a lefty but a puller.  He writes with his hand like upside-down.  As a kid, I always thought it was funny.  =)

Its one of the techniques that some lefties develop to keep from smearing their writing so they can have cleaner text. Also the angle paper is held at. For instance with my writing I end up have my paper/notebook kicked to the left so it has the proper slant to the right. <br />Other wise its relatively vertical or slightly slanted left. Which when I was younger(around 3rd grade) I heard that pyschopaths writing tended to be scrawled with a left sided slant, so I especially wanted it to slant the proper direction. *little laugh*<br /><br />If I'm in rows of chairs and have little elbow room or space to be able to kick out my notebook, I can write pulling my pen, however I end up holding the pen between my index and middle finger to be able to do. But its not my default style of writing. Interesting thing, a few years back I was at a convention taking notes and sat back at the cleaning desk with my dad to get away from people wearing stuff that bothered me, and someone passed by and commented we wrote the same way. I had never noticed this. But my dad too would hold his pen between the index and middle finger to do the pull style of writing. <br /><br />Style and method of writing can have some very interesting facets to it. But then I also seem to like useless information. *little laugh*

Ink smear.  Oh yeah!  Or for that matter, paint smear if I forget to paint from the lower right hand corner to the upper left hand corner of a canvas or paper.  :rolleyes:<br /><br />DD, are you saying I have pyschopathic tendencies? *twitch* LOL!

Ack, wrong word came out, I fixed it.<br />I forget what show it was afterall we're talking over 20 years ago, some crime show and it was talking about the writing and the slants. And the slant was towards the left instead of the right. And it stuck with me, and made me self concious of the direction of the slant of my cursive writing. <br /><br />Forgive me, I've been doing that today I have one thing in mind and I hear or say something else and that word sticks and gets interjected in other places.<br />Like earlier I was talking about how to do image tags, and I explained you need to put the tags on both sides of the url, and then I proceeded to do the tags with URL instea of IMG. I'm not a complete idiot. .. .parts are missing.

LOL!  No offence taken.  I thought it was exceedingly funny.  And FYI some people claim I am a psychopath.  (I guess my quote under my icon got to them, he he.)

I for one like the quote under your icon.  I remember seeing a shirt with that on it a couple of years ago at Gencon.<br /><br />Kim

You may have too many tokens if...<br />  You could outfit all the forces of Mordor with Leather, Studded Leather, and Reinforced Leather Armor.<br />  And give them all a sword and a sling.<br />  You have enough Holy Water to baptize any undead you might encounter.<br />  Patsy just told you to carry your own dang equipment.<br />  You could put your Heavy Mace tokens in a tube sock and actually kill something (please don't).<br />  Your Rope tokens, end to end, stretch more than 50'.<br />  <br />You might be a tokenholic if...<br />  You swear that's not too many!!!<br />
