I often do it even though I usually already know before doing it. It just feels like a habit/sanity check.
I try to and then I realize I don’t know which direction the L is supposed to face and now I have two problems.
No
Not intuitively knowing left and right is one of the signs of dyslexia btw
My mom struggles with it but she’s left handed
Or the lesser known Left Right Confusion. There’s a test available at the university of Washington to see if you have this!
Then there’s the third thing where you say “you’re gonna turn left at the light” and I say “ok, got it… Wait, did you say right?”
No. Left doesn’t start with an L in my native language, and I’d get confused on which way to write an L just by watching my hands anyway. Instead I pretend to shake someone’s hand, and whichever hand I want to put forward is the right hand.
I had never heard of this.
The more important one to remember is “lefty loosey, righty tighty”.
No. Anytime I have been so out of it that I couldn’t tell left from right I also couldn’t remember if the L or ⅃ was right. I have no good solution left at that point.
Do you have a solution right though
I think we’re going to be left wondering
All right then, go ahead and sit back down and wait. It’s time I up and left.
By all means, that is your right to do!
Only when dealing with electric fields
“This” is right.
“That” is left.
No. I’m not sure I ever did. I’ve never thought about it, but don’t most people (adults) generally just remember and/or know intuitively? I don’t think it’s something I need to think about. Just something my brain knows.
Yeah this is exactly where I am too.
My wife still does. It’s adorable and reminds me she’s fallible.
I do on occasion. I was very frustrated when I learned that left and right comes as naturally as up and down for most people.
I remember I heard about the L thing, but then immediately looked at my little hands and thought ‘…But which way does the ⅃ go? That tells me nothing.’ Then I spun them around like finger guns akimbo and it made it worse. I think I was ~4.
Left vs right hand is automatic for me, but I still do the right hand rule when screwing or unscrewing bolts.
Anything not straight-up-and-down always messes with me so bad. There’s an extra hellish sweet spot around 45° and facing away from you that melts my brain as it approaches
Edit: also wtf, for me the post below this one is about screws lol
🎶 She was looking kinda dumb with her finger and her thumb in the shape of an “L” on her forehead. 🎶
