Notebook thing dont really make sense?cuz you flip it for the other page anyway

Panels 2 and 3 happened for me anyway despite not being left handed

I have seen lefties get in on their hand and I always wonder why they don't turn the paper and write towards themselves. That was the hack I learned from early. It also solves the notebook ring problem.

Yes, I know some people who do this and it's easy if you do it from early on, but learning it later is like relearning writing altogether. It ain't impossible but neither is it easy

Yes but it happens EVERY time we write in pencil

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Yeah but most of the time if you are just writing a fresh page it’s gonna be in that orientation, especially like back in school where it might be for an assignment or something, so more often than not it would be like that

If you write on front and back pages, it’s equally annoying to righties and lefties.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It isn't really because when it gets in your way as a righty you can just switch to the next line and it'll look fine. As a lefty, it's in your way at the very start.

Lefties could just indent half the pages by the same amount.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That's usually what ends up happening but it doesn't look as good

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Fair enough. All lefties should write in Hebrew or Arabic.

If we switch to cuneiform we can solve panel 3 as well!

Binders suck extra bad

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

I personally think that its not as much as an issue as thicker notebooks creating an uneven writing surface.

Being right handed, your hand is supported at the same level as the writing surface until the very end of a line, where you typically leave more space.

Being left handed, you start every line of writing without your hand being on the same surface as the writing surface, which especially sucks if you have issues with handwriting (which I annecdotedly notice is more common in lefties).

I flip my whole notebook over and use it back to front. Had a friend buy me one made that way for lefties once as a gift, it was actually really nice to have the cover face the right way for once!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Was thinking the exact same thing

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Yeah and arguably each person is equally at fault if they are sitting in a way where they bump elbows

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I had a left-handed friend in high-school that just oriented his notebook with the rings on the right (180 degrees rotated).
