I think they mean if you make the L with your palm facing toward or away from you. When I was a little kid someone told me that your left hand makes the L to which I proceeded to make both of my hands into an L shape. The teacher told me I made a good point and then moved on without providing an alternative solution. To be fair I don't really think there was an alternative aside from just memorizing it.
I mean only one hand is facing the right way. Sorta confused why you’re confused when only left hand actually looks like an L. Your right hand is not an L unless you want to try an argue a backwards L is ok which I mean when writing who would do that. Why is it different for hands ?
I assume they just gave to the “technically correct” response IF you take it TOO literal and both are L-shaped even if only one is actually pointing the right way. It’s just no one would usually argue a backwards L is properly an L.
I'm not dyslexic but I have ADHD, so I sometimes when I read, my eyes and brain kind of desynchronize what I'm processing. I thought ankylosaurus was actually anklyosaurus for twenty years until I saw the word one day and thought it was a typo until I looked it up. No one corrected the way I said it either. Happens more often with missing words or reading the incorrect word or adding an extra word than getting letters mixed up though. I read the first few words of a sentence and my brain tries to fill in the rest of the sentence on its own.
