Comment on Why do some Spanish/English words share the same multiple meanings?
someguy3@lemmy.ca 6 months agoThat doesn’t sound right (heh). Left to right was probably from writing being left to right. Up for increasing number just seems natural, maybe because we build up from the ground, stack things up from the bottom.

I’m guessing that in texts in right-to-left languages like Arabic and Hebrew, graphs would be drawn the other way around, the X axis increasing leftward.

As an Arabic speaker, our graphs also go from left to right. That said for some reason our number are written from left to right for some reason.
