So somebody has made a grade of paper that works as well as the Mylar
drafting film that I used back in the days when we still drew circuit
diagram with pencils on a drawing board.

 I wonder if anyone else has experienced the 'Looking Glass' phenomenon
which I used to get?
 I often had to lay out a printed circuit board on translucent paper and
work from either side.  After working for a few days on the mirror-image
side, with all the text reversed, I found it became so natural that
returning to the right-way-around World was very difficult.  That
transition was far more difficult than adapting to the
looking-glass-World had been in the first place.
 I attribute it to being left-handed (and have also noticed that I dream
left-right reversed).

I'm left-handed myself and have never had that particular problem, nor do I dream dream left-right reversed.
Left-handers typically don't have the standard distribution of language processing in the brain, and one of my wife colleagues who was interested in that wouldn't test left-handed subjects. Of course a few of the right-handers she did test did have the sort of random distribution of function that most left-handers have because if you don't really care which had you use, you are just as likely to end up using the right hand rather than the left.
