Though I'm a righty (*prepares for condemnation for posting here*) just tried writing left with this Staedtler Triplus Fineliner.. felt tippy and looks/feels nice to write with. I got it for free but it looks and writes like something that is expensive.

The solution - learn Arabic ;)

Or any other right to left language.

I suppose so...it always seemed funny to me with left handers because their arm/hand covers what they've just written whereas righties write away from their previous text...if you get what I'm saying. I think the real solution is to write in Japanese etc...up and down.

HAHAH! 'Twould make it easier. But the brushes and stuff in that traditional writingy thing would be hell!

Or - to solve the smudgy problem with lefties - just use a pencil... :D

That would be great! :D But I have no problems with anything else, just pens.

This sounds all very technical...whats the difference in which hand you write in?
Like Jess said earlier in this thread, lefties drag their hand over what they have just written, unlike right-handed people don't.

But we can't use pencils in most exams. :p
