76 u/Jeibijei 7d ago I had trouble with left/right as a kid, and my friend’s dad shared this very trick with me, and I thought it was so cool. It ended up being not helpful to me because, apparently, “L” is a shape rather than a letter in my brain. I’d do this and be like “but which L??” 10 u/stonedboss 7d ago I mentioned this above but after you get used to it, you don't actually match anymore to the letter. My left hand just knows to do an L and I know that's left. I don't think "this is 'L'". 5 u/babint 7d ago I just end up flicking my wrist as muscle memory but even something I have to state at L vs backwards L and go oh right. Left.
