Latitude v Longitude: Easy Peasy Way to Remember Which is Which

Confused by latitude and longitude?

I was too for many years until one day while goofing off and doing something close to nothing (but different than the day before) the penny dropped and I figured out a foolproof way to remember which is which.

I'll tell you about it at this time tomorrow.

Just kidding.

Latitude: the lines are flat —they run sideways, flattened out.

Longitude: the lines are long — they're the ones that go up and down, the vertical ones.

There, wasn't that easy?

If you still can't keep them straight let me know and I will cheerfully refund three times what you paid for this tip.
