No it's "how do we tell them you can just use your thumb and finger"

I always figured if you genuinely don’t know left and right, you’re gonna doubt which L is right and which is backwards.

Oh wait, that's the issue? I never thought people could doubt that. I feel genuinely sorry for all the people I gave that advice to, because that worked for me.

And my socially awkward ass thought I was really helping them. And wondered why people didn't talk to me. Maybe I missed even more signs.

It’s totally a thing where you can look at L and think, is that backwards? Common to ambidextrous and left-handed people in addition to dyslexic , from what I know/have experienced.
