#consider: if somebody didn't ask then your advice is unsolicited

[doomspaniels]

If you ever need to remember the symbol for some reason, West and East spell WE. Like, weee when you get it right

(I couldn't remember either until I figured that out. Don't ask me to remember my left snd right still)

It does nothing when I actually KNOW which way is west & east, but just Have. The. Wrong. Word. stuck to it in my head.

I *know* the east side of my farm is the one closer to the Atlantic, andI know where that is, and even so. Ask me to point east, I will point west first.

The words are wrong in my head. It's like that for everything with two or three possibles. The words are wrong in my head. I KNOW the compass rose spells "WE" in English, but that's an abstract, and east a real thing--it's right over th... over THERE.

When you feel the urge to give unsolicited advice, perhaps ask if someone would even care to hear advice on the topic, and what they have already done.
