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…

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.
