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?

If I ask you to turn the car left and you give me this speech I would eject from the car.

Yes, and I would be devastated to see you go.

At least until the next bend in the road where the sign indicating a left turn ahead is more than you can handle.

Yes. I should imagine I would be quite happy that you were gone by then.
