Almost 30 years of a left-to-right existance has been weakened by almost three weeks of a right-to-left life in Palestine.
I've seen and read Arabic for years; I was raised on it. But it is not the predominant language in my day-to-day life in the U.S., and so I've always looked at things from left to right. The Arabic sight standard is predominant here, and has apparently affected me in a tremendous way.
I automatically go right-to-left here. I caught myself today: "Why are the freaking pictures loading in reverse??!! UFFFFFFFFF!" Yes, even here, I'm stressed by freaking computers. The pictures were not uploaded backwards (according to U.S. standards of reading); my Arabic eyes were just viewing them that way.
