Love this thread...
The ultimate solution:
Technique 1. Use the same mnemonic logic that I learned from my mother for
remembering which hand is left and which hand is right.
Hold both hands out forward, palms down. Now - the right hand is where the
thumb is on the left !
Technique 2. At camp I
Latitude relates to climate "...Changes in Latitudes, Changes in
Attitudes..." Also, same root as "lateral."

LATitude is fLAT, works best for me... LONGitude is long is fine once you
remember which is flat (horizontal)
I also remember horizontal is the one that is like

LATitude is fLAT, works best for me... LONGitude is long is fine once you
remember which is flat (horizontal)
I also remember horizontal is the one that is like the horizon.
And Port and Left have the same number of letters.
And with mapinfo x and y, i have to remember it's NOT the way i learne

Anna,
If you think of a ladder in a pair of tights they normally run lengthways
down the leg. Visualising this (steady lads) the ladder will be a long scar
in the material so think of longitude as a ladder in tights (or do I not get
out enough?)!

in length as you move away from the equator. Therefore LONGitude

We've got a big poster on the wall in our office which says:
Longitude = X coordinate = east / west position
Latitude = Y coordinate = north / south position
Read it at least once a week for four years and by the end you should be
able to remember which is which (most of the time)!
As for Port
