Your first thread and you're already ruined!

i dont know why ... but it was fun as hell to read this...we used to write our "code" letters to our boyfriends ( in Jr high school )..backwards like that

Hebrew is different, and Arabic is different too.

How is it different? Does the computer cursor move the opposite way? Weird.

I want to know why people write differently though. this is supposed to be a deep and meaningful thread. We all play soccer the same way so why not write the same way?

Electrostar said:

soccer or football?

TheDuck said:

Football. i was trying not to alienate the American contingency.

In the movie world, left to right motion is considered "positive" and right to left "negative". For example, if someone is going to something they are usually moving from left to right on the screen, while if they are returning from something or confronting another person, they are usually moving from right to left. In Kurosawa's movies, the villains always come from right to left while the heroes move from left to right. This applies to several other Asian movies too, so it's difficult to say that it would be a western phenomenon.

This may or may not have to do with the fact that the "optical center" (where the eye naturally looks, because of how it's constructed) on a page, for example, is slightly above and to the right of the actual center. To find it, our eyes move from left to right. On the other hand, like some people already have pointed out, there are several languages that read and write from right to left.

That's very detailed. You may alienate the British contingency.
