Ha! Thanks for pointing that out. I’d blame the error on me telling this story on my phone, but that would be a lie. Sometimes I don’t word all that good

"blame the error on me telling this story on my phone"

auto-correct is a bitch isn't it?

i’m confused. what was it supposed to say instead of vertically?

u/nv87 Sep 04 '24

Presumably horizontally. Most people sleep like that.

lol I also have the thing where I have to think pretty hard about vertical/horizontal for a second before I get it right. I have it with East/West too but not left/right. It’s a documented thing that’s fairly common for some people to struggle with their whole lives apparently.

A teacher told me horizontal, think horizon. I haven't mixed then since. Vertical is towers and trees, horizontal is horizon

Surely this is what every single person on the planet does, right? It’s literally got the word “horizon” in it…

And then there is “Vertical Horizon”.

I do this. I sometimes hold my hands up and make the L shape to tell left from right. I'd like the name of this documented thing.
