    It’s the ship version of stage left and stage right for theatre. Or drivers side and passenger side for cars.

    We use these types of phrases all the time to avoid any ambiguity.

      Left is left, right is right. If you’re basing it off how you or others are facing, you’re a moron. The orientation is based off where it would be if you were in the drivers seat. It’s really not hard.

        You’re just demonstrating why using left/right is just confusing and why separate terms were invented to remove the ambiguity

        Morons exist, you may not have time to clarify my right or your right. When relying on critical timing, you want to cut that out. If you have ever heard someone say “my right or your right” when you’ve said right, concede the argument. There is a reason and if there was not they wouldn’t have been created.
