Talk:Right-to-left script

Chisel

I removed this paragraph:

Many languages that existed before the invention of ink were written right to left since this is the more natural for right handed people to hold a chisel in the left hand and the hammer in the right. After ink became the main method of writing, writing from left to right became preferable since it avoided smudging the ink.

I saw this theory in a couple of sources, but it's only a theory and not a certain fact, and even as such it must be referenced. --Amir E. Aharoni (talk) 10:02, 9 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

How many types of readable writing directions can exist?
The Western World is Very Left to Right in every thing: graphs, paints of animal/man/vehicle goes, etc. It is part of mind. My brother studies Painting in La Masana in Barcelona. The teacher teach that the composition is follows rightwards. Always. Because the whole human eye looks for that direction naturally. Then my Brother said it depends culture. Someone said "In Hebrew you write Right-to-left? That means that you all use left hand or a quick dry ink.".
Can my computer support Top-to-Bottom?
