Here’s the rules:
1: Post something you have never done that you think many people do. 2: Read the other posts, if you have done that thing, upvote it. If you have not done that thing, downvote it. 3: If you believe the person is lying, call them out on it in a reply. 4: If you are called out, give the full story. 4a: If you see a thread containing the full story, boost the person you think is right and truthful.
Person who has the most upvotes when the thread dies wins.
That’s fascinating how you learned all the letters but never put them into an ordinal system. Definitely presents an alternate thinking mechanism than I think most people use. Must have been very tough on you in school as most schools don’t handle people who think differently very well.
The left/right thing is probably much more common. I think it’s interesting how you use the political compass as your visual reference. I for a long time couldn’t remember which political party was left or right, but found I was very good at just ‘knowing’ left and right, as well as the cardinal directions n/s/e/w. My friend who was horrible at telling left from right would hold up both hands and extend his index and thumb. Whichever hand formed an “L” was his left hand and he used that all the time.
People normally learn the order of the alphabet and the alphabet together, not separately?
I always hated the advice to make an L with your hands to see which one was Left. No one ever specified whether you’re supposed to have your palms facing you or facing away, so it’s ambiguous.
When I was a kid, I would picture a dining place setting because I knew the fork was on the left.
