As I have said, 'order'

how do you propose they can DO THAT!

Our reading and writing of mathematical text.

Anyway, formulas could be conveyed audibly instead of by visual text,
in which case, there'd be no requirement for distinguishing left from
right (there would be a requirement to distinguish now from before,
but so what?) And, so what?, anyway, that reading text requires
knowing left from right?
