I mean, if it works, it works.

Right?
Right?
Do you mean Left?
Playstation controller prompts with L/R solved this issue for me in English, but on my main language the directions are called "Sağ/Sol" which I still sometimes get wrong
To me it worked with mouse clicks. Right click does X left click does Y. The mouses right is the same as my right.
i think you got it wrong there again :p
Holy shit, the comments on this post have me worried for you all.
just make em a little thicker and it can be port and starboard
In the time and country I grew up, almost everyone had the same Converse style trainers at school for gym class. I thought I would mark mine to prevent mixing them with the rest, so I put my initials on the front: first initial on the left, second on the right. When I was done, I looked down at my feet and realised I had just written (the equivalent of) L and R on the according sides. Not smort.
No way some tattooer wouldn't have caught this unless they're somehow just as dyslexic... Seems fake
Wow yeah, I found the original, and you can see the L is on the left and R is on the right:
Fuck is this shit?
It wants to play a video which has DRM protection, so it wants to know stuff about you in case the DRM should block your access to the video.
They can kiss my ass.

Holy shit what a scummy kind of pay wall. "Pay to reject personalized advertisements." No, fuck off The Sun.
slow news day huh
The Sun is trash. They will straight up lie to post stories like this and they thrive on people sharing them on social media. Same with Daily Mail and other British rags. It is a very successful tactic. These stories seem to get a lot of mileage online.
Didn't open it huh. They show L and R correctly. Some memer is the one that swapped them.
I still feel like it's kind of mean for the Sun to post this?
What if a future potential employer goes and Google's her full name and finds it in the article saying "this person literally cannot tell the difference between left and right"
Why did they do that?
i literally don't know, I just saw her name while looking for the photo, I can't be arsed to read all that because I'm higher than midair kangaroo backflip pussy

Them: just make an L with your fingers for left
Me as a kid: shit... Why can't I remember which way L faces!?
If I need to write certain single capital letters for labeling purposes there's like a 30% chance I need to look up which way the letter faces because both ways feel correct to me.
That's actually why I learned to just tell
Does her left thumb have a frowney face on the thumbnail?
My wife has a freckle on her right hand. It's the only way she can tell left from right. Ask her for directions and watch her eyes check the back of her hands.
I still hold my fingers in the L shape like I was taught as a kid to figure it out a lot of the time!
I tried this but im dyslexic so it didnt help much
I'm not even dyslexic but remembering which direction a letter goes in just on its own is lowkey so hard. I'd never mess it up in normal writing but ask me what direction the letter L or R goes in, and I'll have to think for an embarrassing amount of time. Or even worse, lower case D and lower case B. I do actually mess those up if I think too hard about them. Oh and I get N confused sometimes too, but that's just because technically Russian is my native language and the Cyrillic alphabet is all kinds of fucked up.
My daughter is learning to write and gets about half her numbers backwards. After I've corrected her on a 2, a 3, and a 7, I'll look at a six and genuinely not know which way it's supposed to face.

Righties loosies lefties tighties
Until you get confused with reverse thread bolts.
She's a keeper
To this day I have problems telling left from right.
I will go the correct direction when I'm driving, and point the correct direction, but I will often say the wrong direction.
One friend tried to help me by telling me that "Right is the hand that you write with", but I'm left-handed.
Fortunately, I have a massive scar on my arm from where my arm was shattered into three places, and that scar is on my right arm, so every time I'm about to tell someone directions, I end up tapping the scars on my arms until I find the correct scar, and then I know that direction is right so I can point in the right direction.
Right/Left Confusion is very common. I have it, too.
People like us tend to say "No, your other left."
I had real trouble for a long time, but I can always glance down at my hand and see the L made by my left index finger and thumb. Eventually I could see it in my head. I memorize things with visual cues somehow IDK.

Your left hand makes an L with your thumb and forefinger
🎵 I was LOOKIN' kinda dumb with my FINGER and my thumb in the SHAPE of an L on my forehead 🎵
I'm afraid the people who struggle to tell left from right apart will also have a problem remembering which way the letter L bends
