SpaceBear_ 12/14/22 2:09:59 AM #34:	wpot posted... There are some British terms I like, but anticlockwise isn't one of them. The problem with "anti" is that it doesn't imply "opposite": it just sounds as if you don't like clockwise for some unknowable reason. "Counter" is much more elegant methinks. Score a point for American English. You lose all points for using "methinks". --- - God bless, downtime and TheSlinja.
