Is your wife a leftie by any chance? Coz I am and this is more or less how I write. It prevents your left hand from rubbing on the still fresh ink and making a mess.

MODERATORS
She's not - interesting, though. I guess it still might help a bit for a righty. Thanks for the perspective.
I only write like that. I can't write right and I'm right-handed.
Good to know there are others - thanks
A while ago I taught myself how to mirror write. It wasn't that difficult once I started thinking in terms of letters going forward and backward instead of left and right, e.g. b faces forward and d faces back. I wonder if something like that would work for writing at 90°.
She's pretty crafty and good with spatial reasoning - it wouldn't surprise me if she just picked it up.
Good on you - that sounds nearly impossible from my pert
Lefty here, and I can so too. I could even write upside down but that has been a while
I feel better that I'm not necessarily married to an alien - thanks
