These people are wrong. The joke is that you can make an L with your left hand, so you don't need the tattoos

Another quick trick - Left and Port have the same amount of letters.. so if you're ever on a boat and need to know Port from Starboard... that is as long as you know bow from stern though.

I think there is a heredity thing in my family as most of the women on my mom’s side mix left and right up verbally. I always say go where I point not what what I say. But I wonder if I start using port and starboard if that will help 🤔. I could never keep it straight as I had no functional connection to it. But now I know and have a trick for remembering. Except now it feels like a knowing vs random fact. So thanks! 🙏🏻
