Aisan cultures read from what we consider the back of the book to the front, and they read up to down from the right side to the left. At least Taiwanese do

Good luck getting a 3 year old to sit for 45 mins. Without the use of Nyquil that is.

I bet quite a few people will have to stop and think about this.

I was having my IQ tested years ago when I suddenly realized I was putting the story pictures right to left in reverse of the order the tester was looking for. Bit[sm][/sm]ch wouldn't go back and change my score either.

I have many strange quirts when it comes to language skills. I can't spell and my grammar is missable. Not sure growing up in an culture that reads right to left would have helped. I read words that are mirror or upside down easily, as I read left to right. I can write in mirror with my left hand too, though I"m right handed.

Not if you happen to be Chinese.

It's Chinese that's written right-left, right? Left?

Nahh. That goes top to bottom. Or is that japanese?

Anywho, Arabic reads right to left. (or is that cibarA?)

From what I remember in college, it was several years ago so it's a tad fuzzy, Japanese was top to bottom, right to left. Also, and this will be on the test, the Japanese language borrows several characters from the Chinese language.
