No Stupid Questions

Also, at this point, it might just ingrained in people there is a L-side and a R-side which correspond with their equivalent of left and right even without knowing English. It can be abstracted as consistent symbols if nothing else.

And the products are labeled L and R

Though Malaysian headphones are usually labelled L and R too

We use English for almost everything tbh.

Hindi ko nga naisip yung Kaliwa Kanan kung di ko pa nabasa itong comment lmao my English speaking brain

I have never seen it ether.

I work with a lot of nonnative English speakers, and someone sent out an invite to a meeting on Thueisday and my brain melted.

the same way we know that 'T' is for 'Tuesday' and 'Th' is for 'Thursday.'

As a non native speaker I have to admit I actually didn't know that.
But in German you also use two letters for all the weekdays.
Mo, Di, Mi, Do, Fr, Sa, So.

But it is a popular riddle for children to ask M, D, M, D, what comes next?

Ah the dangers of Google translate and synonyms. You got the wrong definition for right when translating to Irish, the one you have means correct, deis is the word for right (direction). Clé is left, the h appears in certain contexts for grammatical reasons.

Chinese is also not right - 正确的 (zhèngquè de) means "proper"

Left and Right as the sides are 左 (zuǒ) and 右 (yòu) - you can also add 邊 (biān) to each which means "side" to be more explicit, but they are also used separately in many contexts where the left/right meaning is needed.

The Chinese characters for 左 and 右 actually originated as pictograms of the left and right hand in the early forms of Chinese writing, but later forms both contain general "hand" component (𠂇) with components 工 and 口 added for differentiation

There's also Filipino:

• left - kaliwa
• right - kanan

also we use L and R for things because we speak English too.

It's because of the way an LLM works, they're completely blind to things like what a word starts with. Ask it something like "List 10 words that start and end with the same letter but are not palindromes." and it completely shits the bed, because it can only process words as unified tokens, it can't look inside the words to see how they're structured.

which seems to start with different characters anyway

Remember that Arabic is right-to-left—both words start with ي (yeh).

which seems to start with different characters anyway

It doesn't - Arabic is written right-to-left, both words start with ⟨ي⟩ (it looks like ⟨ﻳ⟩ there).

It's yasar and yamin and yes, they both start with the same letter but alternatively you can use chamal ( north) for left. It's archaic and rarely if ever used in modern days but it fix this problem that isn't one in the first place because you can print the whole word since their shape alone allow for an easy and fast identification, use the left right symbols with a tilted tail or just use L&R for arabic nations with English as the main foreign language and G&D for the ones where it's french.

Levantine Arabic says shamal شمال but that's might be too slangy for labelling.
