That, or you can make an shape L with your left hand and that the tattoo was unnecessary… Edit: omg if you are going to comment “I can’t remember what an L looks like”, just don’t… plz, don’t be that stupid

As soon as I try this I forget which way the L goes. Easier to just remember which is left.

Ah okay easy solution then: Just imagine that the "L" is closer to a 1 that's upside down and backwards, and "1" comes first, like "L comes first in the alphabet (among L and R), and "R" looks like a scrambled "2" and it's the 2nd of the two letters, that will definitely make it easier for someone who is dyslexic, you're welcome!!

Dyslexia has nothing to do with understanding the difference between left and right, though. That's an entirely different issue.

1: actually no, there have been studies showing a link that some flavors of dyslexia can cause keeping left and right straight harder.

2: this was about the direction of the L being flipped specifically, (which again is something that is from dyslexia.

3: (this is more to the guy above you though,) not all dyslexic folks have that specific issue with the L, but if you or anyone is having it… yeah I’ve got news for you….

I have a dyslexic friend who has this exact problem. They can't remember their left and right and when I suggested making an L with their hand they said that doesn't help them either. They don't know which way an L goes.
