Not to steer this topic even futher off topic, but this is something that's 
been on my mind lately...

The biggest problem with it that the letters were forwards and not also 
backwards (and the parens). But then, it's my understanding that as a 
left-handed person, reading and writing backwards is far easier for me than 
for the majority that is right-handed. Have any other lefties found that the 
case?
