just make em a little thicker and it can be port and starboard XymBVbCXkA22HiW.jpg
capt_wolf@lemmy.world 1 day ago
Nah, all need to do for that is remember the port and left are both four letter words.
Front = Bow, fore
Back = Stern, aft
If you don’t get it right, I’ll throw your ass out the little round window on the side!

Why do we need a different word for left and right when we ready have the words left and right?
bizarroland@lemmy.world 2 days ago
To this day I have problems telling left from right.
I will go the correct direction when I’m driving, and point the correct direction, but I will often say the wrong direction.
One friend tried to help me by telling me that “Right is the hand that you write with”, but I’m left-handed.
Fortunately, I have a massive scar on my arm from where my arm was shattered into three places, and that scar is on my right arm, so every time I’m about to tell someone directions, I end up tapping the scars on my arms until I find the correct scar, and then I know that direction is right so I can point in the right direction.

Right/Left Confusion is very common. I have it, too.
People like us tend to say “No, your other left.”

I had real trouble for a long time, but I can always glance down at my hand and see the L made by my left index finger and thumb. Eventually I could see it in my head. I memorize things with visual cues somehow IDK.
its_kim_love@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 days ago
I try that method but then have to sit there and think about what direction L should be pointing.
Townlately@feddit.nl 2 days ago
I wrote so much as a child that my middle finger on my dominant hand is actually slightly deformed. Sometimes I still catch myself touching that messed up bone to remind myself which direction is which. :/
Rhaedas@fedia.io 2 days ago
think of it like their alphabetical order (assuming reading left to right, of course). L is left of R, R is right of L.

This is so bizzare to me. I can easily memorize people’s phone numbers, I can remember what I did a month ago, I can learn fucking JavaScript, but remembering which is my left hand? Hardest job ever
VitoRobles@lemmy.today 2 days ago
Have you considered getting a R tattoo on your left hand and a L tattoo on your right hand?
its_kim_love@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 days ago
Are you me? My scar is from breaking it in 2 places, but all the rest lines up exactly. Left handed, good sense of actual direction, and even useless advice that only makes it more confusing.
bizarroland@lemmy.world 2 days ago
It’s entirely possible. Are you a six foot one Native American dude?
If so, like, hate to break it to you, but we might have dissociative identity disorder.
coolie4@lemmy.world 2 days ago
Them: just make an L with your fingers for left
Me as a kid: shit… Why can’t I remember which way L faces!?
parzival@lemmy.hkserv.space 2 days ago
That’s actually why I learned to just tell
stray@pawb.social 2 days ago
If I need to write certain single capital letters for labeling purposes there’s like a 30% chance I need to look up which way the letter faces because both ways feel correct to me.

Do you mean Left?

No, your other left
kryptonianCodeMonkey@lemmy.world 2 days ago
My wife had a freckle on her right hand. It’s the only way she can tell left from right. Ask her for directions and watch her eyes check the back of her hands.
lifeinlarkhall@lemmy.world 2 days ago
I still hold my fingers in the L shape like I was taught as a kid to figure it out a lot of the time!

Your left hand makes an L with your thumb and forefinger
renzhexiangjiao@piefed.blahaj.zone 2 days ago
I’m afraid the people who struggle to tell left from right apart will also have a problem remembering which way the letter L bends
blimthepixie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 days ago
Is the backwards L used in any languages?

Playstation controller prompts with L/R solved this issue for me in English, but on my main language the directions are called “Sağ/Sol” which I still sometimes get wrong
gnawmon@ttrpg.network 2 days ago
i think you got it wrong there again :p
Gonzako@lemmy.world 2 days ago
To me it worked with mouse clicks. Right click does X left click does Y. The mouses right is the same as my right.

I had this problem for a long time because teachers saying your right hand is the one you write with.
Dicska@lemmy.world 2 days ago
In the time and country I grew up, almost everyone had the same Converse style trainers at school for gym class. I thought I would mark mine to prevent mixing them with the rest, so I put my initials on the front: first initial on the left, second on the right. When I was done, I looked down at my feet and realised I had just written (the equivalent of) L and R on the according sides. Not smort.
libre_warrior@lemmy.ml 2 days ago
I’ve made my own words for left and right using the image of the sun and shadows.
On Earth we can see that shadows moves in one direction. We can call this direction sunwise. We can call the other other direction counter. So in fern to determine whether what is sunwise and counter, we have to know a little bit about the sun.
In this image, we can say that the hitten, that which is being hit, will always see their shadow move sunwise. The opposite direction would be counter.

No way some tattooer wouldn’t have caught this unless they’re somehow just as dyslexic… Seems fake

Wouldn’t the letters be backwards then? Or the watch on the other wrist? I feel more like “photoshopped” to be swapped

No it’s from The Sun.
