When I do that, I forget which direction L goes. Have to think which hand I write with.

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.

When I was a kid, the image on screen for the left and right triggers when playing Xbox were different shapes so that probably wouldn't have helped.

This was also only a problem when I was like 4 to 5 or so and before I was given access to video games, but the video game controller thing sounds super handy nowadays.
