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?

Probably a typo of “said maybe”

Or a typo of “you’re gonna be the one that saves me”

Though that’s admittedly somewhat less likely.

Yep. I’m getting worse at typing on my phone as I get older. Or my phone keyboard/screen protector sucks; one of the two

Yes, very likely.

Just another instance where AI said fuck this, I ain’t correcting that today.

My dude, look at my post history. I actually noticed it and though “eh, I’ll fix it later” since my wife had finished her coffee and we wanted to free up a table for the people waiting at the cafe.
