Very expensive socks can be had in left and right. But the vast majority of socks are indentical for lefts and rights.
short story about two wrong do not make a right
You know the saying two lefts don't make a right? Well, the opposite applies here. Two negatives indeed do make a positive. Say I have two numbers, 10 and -5, and I want to subtract the positive one from the negative one. 10 - (-5) <-- two negatives in a row become a positive. 10 + 5 = 15 You can verify this yourself by using a number line. The difference is visually the distance between two numbers on a number line. The distance from 10 to -5 is indeed 15.
Right triangles have two acute angles, but that doesn't make them right. Having a right angle makes them right.
Two lefts make a right only when added to a third. It takes three lefts to make a right.

a Right
There is a saying that goes, "Two wrongs don't make a right." In other words, a wrong cannot be undone with another wrong. The saying also has a comedic extension: "... but three lefts do."
Three lefts make a right.
The saying is 2 lefts don't make a right. 3 rights do not make a left.
The phrase "3 lefts make a right" is a humorous way of saying that if you keep turning left multiple times, you will eventually end up going in the right direction. It highlights the idea of taking unconventional or unexpected routes to reach your destination.
3 Lefts in a Right?
Two wrongs don't make a right...but 3 rights make a left!
Inexact. It is like a double negative that turns into a positive, or like the old saying that "Two wrongs don't make a right, but three lefts do."
