leftys and chinese

have you ever wondered why Chinese scrips were written from the right to the left? they use ink yet their words don't smudge.

How the stupid conversation between me and Janet started.

J: you shouldn't use ink pen. will smudge
A: i know but i am trying to finish the ink. Eh Chinese starts their words from the right... won't the words smudge when they write the next line?
J:Eh, ya hor.
A:maybe they are lefties LOL

Conversation ends

Next day

J: Actually, the way they hold the brush. it won't cause the ink to smudge as they hold it there..(shows the way to hold)
A:Actually i realized that. LOL.

and we took one day to realize that. LOL . i think they should still write from the right side so my left hand won't smudge all the ink =)
