Confusing 'b' and 'd'..

Which way round is 'b'? - I use the name 'Cadbury's' (chocolate) to help remember which way 'b' and 'd' go. (L.K., Edinburgh, Scotland).

Which way round is 'b'? - to know b from d I picture the capital letter B and know that the lower case b is the bottom of the letter, and the d is facing the opposite direction. (Terri S, Philadelphia, PA).

'b' and 'd' - A good tip for getting your b's and d's the right way, is to use the word 'bed' and picture yourself lying on it. The 'b' is the headboard and the 'd' is the bit that stops your feet hanging off the end. (H, UK).

I've found it's easier to avoid flipping my letters when writing if I print everything in capital letters. So my lower case letters are simply smaller upper case. (K.M., Cincinnati, Ohio).

A method that you use.
