Q: what's a good mnemonic for longitude and latitude, i can't seem to tell them apart
A: if you swap some letters, "latitude" is like "altitude", ...... which means how high you are. altitude tells you how high you are in the sky. latitude tells you how high you are on the map..... as long as you orient the map with north (or south) pointing up. if you hold the map sideways then i can't help you
