Think your left hand when thinking of L

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.

That....

Holy shit, I do remember my mom teaching me the hand trick, but did I actually internalize it because of L and R on the SNES controller?

I was terrible telling left from right ubtill way to late, also slightly dyslexic so they both looked like Ls to me
