I cannot accept that guys are doing this. It is well known that women
have a genetic disposition to mixing "left" and "right".

Actually, Ron, I *have* a genetic disposition to mixing up
"left" and "right", not because I'm a girl but because I'm
a southpaw and I've been reversing directions given for the
right hand all my life.

But what Blanche and I were chuckling over wasn't the
confusion between "right" and "left" but the unwillingness
to accept a friendly, polite correction.

Whether that's really a male pilot trait I leave to each person's
experience
