East & West vs. Left & Right

  Swapping the tabs would move them out of alphabetical order which would just end up annoying someone else.

    Replace “West” with “Best” and that fixes the alphabetical issue!

    east is prob the default, too. and the default should be the left tab.

    Damn, you’re right… this is more of an issue than I realized.

    Also, and probably related to that, people generally say “east and west” rather than “west and east”.

    Similarly, “north and south” rather than “south and north”.

    In both cases the latter version just sounds wrong somehow.

  Because you’re north looking south.

  If it makes you feel better, they probably did this so that they’re in alphabetical order

    Marginally better… like from a 7 to a 6.8. 😉

  Just turn your chair around and it’ll switch.

  Alphabetical order, but still annoying

    At least left and right are correct in that regard. 😏

  I’m dyslexic and struggle with both left/right and east/west, so it seems right to me :shrug: lol

  Just reorient the map like they did on ancient maps! Then East can be on top and West on the bottom.

    I’m so sick of you “east on top” people. I’ll never conform!
