so the o is on the inside
that might be good for now

i used to do J in reverse
and S Z


a few other crazy things to
like if i want to write 16
i will write 5 or some other number
totaly unrelated to what im thinking ???

in a sntence and i will have to squash
missing words in front of it :/ and back fill all the bits i missed
I also write simular words to the ones i want
