that’s because mirrors don’t swap left and right; They swap front and back. You flip the words on a page left and right when you turn the page around to face the mirror
Yep, if you flip the page vertically instead then the mirror appears to swap top and bottom. And if you have text on a transparent medium, you can see the actual effect.

I can sit and think about it long enough it makes sense, but it’s so fucking unintuitive, that i need to convince myself every time i ponder it
