When I tried this on the Mac, it came out as:

L K J I H G F E D C B A
X W V U T S R Q P O N M
a b c d e f g h i j Z Y
l m n o p q r s t u v w
                  x y z

When the word wrap happens in the English sentence, it removes the word 
from the middle of the line (the last English word) and places it at the 
right edge of the following line.
