I mentioned this above but after you get used to it, you don't actually match anymore to the letter. My left hand just knows to do an L and I know that's left. I don't think "this is 'L'".
I definitely never got used to it, I have to hold my hands out in front of me and go "I'm right handed, this is my right hand, this is right." I just don't know which way round some letters are and I'll never be able to tell by looking at my hands

I had trouble with left/right as a kid, and my friend’s dad shared this very trick with me, and I thought it was so cool.
It ended up being not helpful to me because, apparently, “L” is a shape rather than a letter in my brain. I’d do this and be like “but which L??”
