Opposites you can't tell which is which.
Maybe it's something that just happens to me, but there are some opposites I can't really tell which is wich.
Examples:
- East/West.
- Concave/convex.
Even if I search for them, I will eventually end up forgetting about them 🤣
So, does it happen with you? Wich ones are the ones that give you trouble?
I actually have to think to figure out among ">" and "<"

Always mix up concave/convex.
If I'm tired I mix up left/right.
Every so often it's man/woman.

East/West
Affect/Effect
East/West is ... even now. East is to the left? Right? It's the right, right? looks up compass
Affect/Effect...I don't think that'll ever set in my mind 🤢
i dont really get the difference between a crocodile and an alligator,they look the same to me.
*for people who dont know east/west what helps me remember is this phrase:
Never Eat Soggy Waffles
and then this circles clock-wise.
so never is up,eat is right,soggy is down,and waffles is left!
lol.its so childish but it helps.
obviously,the bolded letters in the phrase represent north,south,east,west.

I'm terrible with left/right and East/West. When I stop & think about it, I can (mostly...) get it right, but I have no instinctive sense of left/right. 😔

I always have to hold up my hands in the shape of L's to determine which one's my left.

Lefts and rights.
I seriously have to look at my shoes for a minute, just to figure out which is which.
BTW, should it not be "which is which"?
Sorry, the spelling/grammar freak in me just popped out.

Yeah! I have been drinking, so didn't check before hitting the submit button. Some friendly mod can fix that mistake, please.
