In a conversation on reddit today someone asked if other languages have phrases like "rightie tightie, leftie loosie" to remember which way to turn screws/lids/etc. And one person answers that in Spanish, the phrase is: "La derecha oprime, la izquierda libera." or: "The right oppresses, the left liberates." (Now I kind of want to put this on a t shirt)

This is fabulous. It would make the best t-shirt!! How will you make it available, so I can watch for it? ð ððŧ ðŧ ðŠķ @sarahbecan spanish doesn't use that phrase like "rightie tightie..." that's a purely political mnemonic. Not sure what spaniard told you that, but it's definitely not true. |
@sarahbecan I studied Latin in one thousand one hundred before one thousand ten before one hundred three.
@sarahbecan I just had to imagine a kid being born in December of 1999 wishing their parents had waited a few weeks longer, so he has an easier time stating when he was born in French class.
(being a person learning Swedish born on a 27th, one of the worst numbers to pronounce in Swedish)
@sarahbecan I'm actually learning french, but I don't I have it ez since I kinda have to learn using sources written in my second language, which is fine, because my english is pretty good
