Question... when giving directions, if someone says to "head north" on such-and-such a road, or that the shop you're looking for is on the east side of the street, does that make sense to you without having to think about it?

Just curious....

I'm not one for getting left/right correct very often at all, but if it's an area I know at *all* I rarely screw up east/west. I think it's odd/weird/fun how the brain works sometimes...
