[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think a lot of people really have no spatial sense. Like, they can't tell which side of the loop DC is in. 
Map reading is also a lost skill.[/quote]

The fact some people clearly are still having trouble confirms this. Their sense of direction must just be very bad? Do you even need to know where DC is on relation to the road? Can't you just picture a circle and which direction you are going and that we drive on the right? [/quote]

It doesn’t look like a circle while driving though. Looks straight in some places, winding on others. And the person who said if there are no cars or roads on the right of you, then you are going one way is not correct. That would be the case on both sides.

I know that I have very poor spatial sense. I read a fascinating article about a tribe in Africa where everyone speaks in the terms “north, south, east, west” rather than left or right. They have an internal compass that lets them know which direction they are talking about no matter where they are standing. So they don’t have to say “stage left” or something. Everyone knows what they’re talking about. It’s a cool skill.[/quote]
