Y do you need any word. Just think of where the dots 1 2 3 are. Then you
don't have to think any further.

I wonder if opposite would be a better word? You read from left-to-right and
write from right-to-left.  They are both the opposite of the other one.

My father, who was born over a hundred years ago, could write print
backwards almost as easily as forwards.  I got the impression that was
something a lot of sighted people used to do. It kept other people from
looking over their shoulder and reading what they were writing with a quick
glance.  This could be helpful if they were writing something private like a
note to pass to a friend in school.  Of course the main point of this story
is that all it requires is motivation and practice.
