Google's results for sports standings has Eastern Conference on the left and Western Conference on the right and it bothers me to no end!

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

[–] Tankaus 4 points 1 year ago

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

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

[–] sanguinepar 2 points 1 year ago

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.

Obligatory XKCD

(edit: I forgor how to embed images in markdown)

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

Because you're north looking south.

Just sit on the other side of the screen

[–] Tankaus 2 points 1 year ago

Brilliant! It was so obvious the whole time.

[–] Oaksey 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Alphabetical order, but still annoying

[–] Tankaus 5 points 1 year ago

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

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] Tankaus 4 points 1 year ago

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

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Just turn your chair around and it'll switch.

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

I'm so sick of you "east on top" people. I'll never conform!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

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