    As a left handed person, stop implying that left hand centric ideas or basis is wrong or evil.

    I understand where you're coming from, but the alleged "analysis" is merely morphological and I wouldn't assume it implies correctness. Nothing says it's wrong to write them left-handed. It would, in fact, be the opposite, since Eorzean script (in-world) was lost and then rediscovered; so what these supposed scholars are saying is that it was originally (and thus, "correctly") written left-handed and right to left (for whatever reasons) and once rediscovered it started to be ("wrongly") written left to right (for whatever reasons) and with an unspecified hand, which I would assume means it's written with the dominant hand of the one doing the writing.


    We could go into the reasoning behind the "whatever reasons" why it was first written in a way and then in another way and discuss the preconceived ideas behind that, but that's not the point. I just want to know if a stroke order (i.e. the order in which each individual stroke of each individual character is written, mostly only relevant when learning the script or for calligraphy purposes) actually exists or not.
