Wow.
I wonder if all ambidextrous people have such a latent ability.
And notice something else: she's constantly looking at both texts - reinforcing the view that writing rotated text (like when lefties are forced to emulate the right-hand broad-nib model) is bad for you.

The Lubalin book mentions that he could sign cheques with one hand while sketching thumbnails with the other.
But writing in two different languages: that's serious brain power.

Baden Powell was known for drawing with one hand while colouring with the other. He was quite an accomplished illustrator with line drawing and watercolours.

I can write with one hand, while picking my nose with the other.
That’s about it!

I wonder why all people don't realize they each have some such latent ability. If I had not already done so, I'd make this the year of the other hand, just to see what does work.:)
Happy holidays!

C'mon, she's a cyborg.
