Your mirror query.

It's quite simple really. The mirror doesn't actually
reverse things at all.

Take a piece of paper with some writing on it and hold it up
to a mirror facing the mirror. Now you will note that if you
look though the paper, what is on the right appears on the
right and what is on the left appears on the left what is on
top appears on top and what is on the bottom appears on the
bottom. Nothing has been reversed at all. However the text
is back to front and not upside down. If you now look more
closely you will note that you can see the text on the paper
though the paper and that that is obviously back to front
because you are not facing it.
