> What they're talking about is how I apperently start at the wrong place when printing... I almost always start from the bottom of the letter. I do that with every lowercase letter except for d, u, v, and w, and every capital letter except for G, L, U, V, and W. Apparently that's no how most people write.

It's funny how some things become so ingrained in us that when someone does it differently, it looks weird. I had a high school classmate who did the same as you, and it looked absolutely hilarious: When we where really bored, we would ask him to write something on a blackboard. Ok, I might be exaggerating there, but my point is this: The efficiency of how we write comes down to how hard we train. If you've been forced to write every letter upside-down from childhood, then this will be the fastest way for you to write. Think of Leonardo Da Vinci: His hand-writing was mirrored. Try teaching yourself that!
