Any time you give someone good directions it helps to give them in both relative (left or right) and absolute (north,south,east,west). A more efficient way of laying this out would be to compound the two into one set of directions describing both the absolute and relative changes needing to be made.
These terms could be Rorth, Routh, Reast, Rest, Lorth, Louth, Least, and Lest. In this way you could easily, and with one word, describe not only the direction of a turn but the direction it should be approached from. Hopefully this would simplify things a great deal and prevent many people from getting lost.

so do you drive by navigating by the stars too? |

just kidding. I don't care for new names. Just tell me left or right on which street name and I'm there.- |

Is the scooby doo voice a necessity? |

[Erfunden] please delete this idea or the
other one of the same name. You choose. |

Reminds me of an attempt I made as a child to make directions more specific: Left, Fleft (forward and to the left), Forward, Fright, Right, Bright (back and to the right), Back, and Bleft. Yuck. |

Combine the two for even more ear-stabbing fun. Blouth. Freast. |

Shouldn't it be the ending absolute direction? i.e. Reast on Spruce for 3 miles, Lorth on Pine for 8 miles etc. Where Reast is "Make a right to travel east". That seems a tad more helpful. [FD] Agreed, reminds me of Astro dog from Jetsons--"Ree Reorge Ro Routh". |

Sory bout that. I didn't mean to post two. |

They all sound too similar to me. Be hard to distinguish on the phone. |
