I hate that I'm saying this, but this would be handy for my wife. Except like, correct, ya know?

Cosmo and Wanda hanging out on the thumbs, you can't fool me this time

I mean, if it works, it works.

Right?

just make em a little thicker and it can be port and starboard

Holy shit, the comments on this post have me worried for you all.

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

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

Them: just make an L with your fingers for left

Me as a kid: shit... Why can't I remember which way L faces!?

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.

My wife has 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.

Righties loosies lefties tighties

I've made my own words for left and right using the image of the sun and shadows.

In Gaja 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.

The word right comes from Old English "right hand" meaning the correct hand. Whereas left means weak.

Think of how most people are right handed, or "correct" handed. They usually use their correct hand, not their weak hand.

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.

Does her left thumb have a frowney face on the thumbnail?

She's a keeper

Your left hand makes an L with your thumb and forefinger
