Tsukiyomi’s Bright/Dark blade went in far easier, thanks to Bright=Right, and now I automatically, reflexively recognise Dark as Left.
But this hasn’t happened for me with Larboard, I still need to consciously think “L for Left” instead of it being a reflex. Or Lardboard=Port, because I believe Port and Starboard would make far more sense to me personally.
It’s probably the length of the word. Left/Dark/Port are all 4 letter words, while Right/Bright/Starboard stand out as longer words. It’s much easier to take a mental snapshot of an entire word, than it is to pick out one letter in it.
You are not alone, some ppl like me memories mechanic by words. I keep getting hit by Larboard in my first run even I read the guide first, but I never get hit by Mustadio even going in blind. We use left and right all the time, and we use starboard and port to some extend, we are familiar with those words. Hence it will be easier to operate our brain with those word.
We could get use to Larboard, but it really took me 4 run to completely avoid it.
It is just different ppl have different way of recognised thing
