When I was in high school I could write backwards. My best friend and I used to write notes to each that way. I don't think I could do it anymore.
Talking of reading, writting, and such matters.........
Reinhard Heydrich (head of the RSHA, whose most infamous department was department IV which was know as The Gestapo) once had a female secetery with an unusual quality.
She could speak English, and listen to English being spoken.
She could read English, she could write English.
But she didn't understand a single word of English
So you could dictate a letter to her in English and she'd write it perfectly (with far less spelling mistakes and grammar errors than my posts
) without her ever understanding the contents of the message.
Something pretty handy to have in the world of security and esbionage.

Can do.
To be fair, I think it's a skill that us chaps have more admiration for

That's because all your actors are French
Have I any quirks?
Quite probably.
I think one of the most obvious is the telling an weird anicdote during any given thread.
In fact, I think I could find a link to an anicdote about the war or Meat Loaf alone within any three steps
(see above
