Reflecting on Mirror Writing

This episode is about mirror writing-formed by writing in the direction that is the reverse of the natural way for a given language, so that it appears normal when it is reflected in a mirror. The most common modern usage of mirror writing can be found on the front of ambulances, where the word "AMBULANCE" is often written in very large mirrored text, so that drivers see the word the right way around in their rear-view mirror.
