That was the hack I learned from early. It also solves the notebook ring problem. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] lugal@sopuli.xyz 7 points 3 years ago (1 child) 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 permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] sabreW4K3@lemmy.tf [S] 1 point 3 years ago 😂 permalink fedilink source parent [–] candyman337@sh.itjust.works 5 points 3 years ago Yes but it happens EVERY time we write in pencil permalink fedilink source parent [–] duckington@lemmy.world 13 points 3 years 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 permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] stevehobbes@lemmy.world 16 points 3 years ago (1 child) If you write on front and back pages, it’s equally annoying to righties and lefties. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Neve8028@lemm.ee 4 points 3 years ago (1 child) 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. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] stevehobbes@lemmy.world 2 points 3 years ago (1 child) Lefties could just indent half the pages by the same amount. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Neve8028@lemm.ee 2 points 3 years ago (1 child) That's usually what ends up happening but it doesn't look as good permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] stevehobbes@lemmy.world 1 point 3 years ago (1 child) Fair enough.

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! permalink fedilink source parent [–] BloodSlut@lemmy.world 5 points 3 years 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). permalink fedilink source parent [–] Resonosity@lemmy.ca 4 points 3 years ago Was thinking the exact same thing permalink fedilink source parent [–] Its_not_Dave@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago Yeah and arguably each person is equally at fault if they are sitting in a way where they bump elbows permalink fedilink source parent [–] SIGSEGV@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 years ago I had a left-handed friend in high-school that just oriented his notebook with the rings on the right (180 degrees rotated). permalink fedilink source parent
