Imagine my mixed emotions when I’ve been doing ‘ls -la’ since I remember and watch someone do ‘ls -al’.

I cut my teeth on DOS. I use dir instead of ls. Please don't shame me.

I always do - lha or -la, but sometimes I did -a and I want the L, so I reuse the old command and add a l, making it -al.

I use -al because it's in alphabetical order and reminds me of "all".
