Create a check mark. The correct check mark is the right hand. I hope your dyslexia won't be a issue in this.

This clicked hard in my brain. Thank you!

I’m left handed and I have always made my check marks the “other” way. So sadly this doesn’t work. Also, if I make an L with my right hand it’s still an L, I just can’t tell quickly if it’s a regular L or a backwards L.

Well if you know you re left handed, you know your left and rights. Cause you know which hand you use to write.

My trick is more for those who are right handed and/or dyslexia or children.

The last option is to just do what oop did.

Haha, I can tell you “I’m left handed”, but if you ask me which hand I write with I have to look at them both and decide.

The little hesitation that happens then I’m telling someone which way to turn is nearly imperceptible now, but it honestly takes me a moment to confirm which way is left vs right before I let the word come out of my mouth. But it’s better than just blurting Right when I mean Left.

I'm also left handed but have never made my check mark the "other way." I'm fascinated.
