It's not a word per se, but I've always had trouble with the simple concept of left and right.

When I was learning my directions, I had a small scab on my right hand. I was given a helpful memory aid: "The hand with the boo-boo is 'right'."

You can guess what happened next: that's right, a small accident that left a scab on my left hand.
To this day, I get them mixed up.

The fun thing about evolution (and science in general) is that it happens whether you believe in it or not.
