Does each language have "lefty loosey righty tighty"?
(lemmy.world)
The world has a lot of different standards for a lot of things, but I have never heard of a place with the default screw thread direction being opposite.
So does each language have a fun mnemonic?

We have that in Gujarati "navde nokhu satde sajjad"
Google translated it as "Nine days and seven days are tight".
Does that sound like a good translation to you?
No it's more like "lose like nine and tight like seven". It works because of the way Gujarati numerals are structured.
That's interesting, thank you. I didn't know anything about Gujarati, this is a cool opportunity to learn!
