Anti-ClockWise = CCW to us in non-Commonwealth countries. Lots of Canadians here, and lived / worked w/ them a bunch in WA, old habits die hard
Ah......time. "Clocks" are interesting things. I worked with scientists who insisted that hours, minutes, and seconds were only devised to make clocks more attractive....or 'convenient.' It's the original "analogue versus digital" argument. Degrees, minutes and seconds DO make for more convenient sea navigation in a 'pre-1800's' world. Face it. We live on a spinning ball. People who are educated beyond their intelligence might describe it as a rapidly rotating oblated spheroid - but math is math and science is science. On the afternoon of 10 December, 1941 this argument was settled for all.......um.......'time.' It's COUNTER CLOCKWISE. Deal with it. People have ten fingers, but time and nature are analogue - NOT digital.
