Why would you want a better word for counterclockwise when you're okay with clockwise?

Why would you want a direction that doesn't make sense without knowing it's opposite????

It makes perfect sense without knowing it's opposite.

Exactly so at least they'll know the opposite direction of clockwise if the other term becomes popular.

Then it makes perfect sense without knowing its opposite.

Ask a dumb question, get another dumb question.

How? How would you know what counterclockwise is if you don't know what clockwise is?

A term that makes sense on its own is better than a term that only makes sense in contrast with another term

Here's what I found.

https://imgur.com/OhmFVBJ

Waluigi is the ultimate example of the individual shaped by the signifier. Waluigi is a man seen only in mirror images; lost in a hall of mirrors he is a reflection of a reflection of a reflection. You start with Mario the wholesome all Italian plumbing superman, you reflect him to create Luigi the same thing but slightly less. You invert Mario to create Wario Mario turned septic and libertarian then you reflect the inversion in the reflection: you create a being who can only exist in reference to others. Waluigi is the true nowhere man, without the other characters he reflects, inverts and parodies he has no reason to exist. Waluigis identity only comes from what and who he isnt without a wider frame of reference he is nothing. He is not his own man. In a world where our identities are shaped by our warped relationships to brands and commerce we are all Waluigi.

We only have one expression for this in german and it is "gegen den Uhrzeigersinn". So consider yourself lucky

If you lack knowledge of what clockwise is then you're in the exact same boat there...
