"Writing posture" is usually limited to describing those who write with the wrist "above" the line of print, usually referred to as "hooked" posture and practiced by many lefties (but not all), and those who use the traditional hand-below-the-line style usually practiced by righties (but again, not all). Here's a site turned up in a quick google search.
I visited that interesting site and learned lots.
Anyone else write backwards, easily, left handed? I do. Hard to read though without the mirror.
Yes. Backwards and upsidedown as well. But that still does not improve the legibility of the script!

Funny you should mention that - I can write backwards, and read that way without much difficulty. They will probably come and put me away now!

I'm a leftie (semi-ambidextrous) and can easily write backwards too! I always thought it was a rare thing but apparently it isn't :)
I case you've not noticed, there's now a poll up about this :o)
The problem with the poll is, how do you define ambidextrous? Most lefties would probably consider themselves ambidextrous, as we're forced to do certain things with our right hands. Likewise, many righties have overcome that handicap and do certain things with their left hand. For simplicity's sake, the poll should have been, "Which hand do you write with?"

I wondered the same thing, but just saying I write with my left doesn't come close to what I experience. I am righthanded in ALL else except that. And I even want to draw with my right. So I don't know what to consider myself.
