Ask HN: Why are toggle switches replacing checkboxes? Isn't on/off less obvious?
Interesting; I found a youtube video yesterday of a guy doing the "things that are weird in the US as a foreigner", and one of them is that where he is from, light switches are "up is off, down is on" evidently because he found the US "up-on, down-off" behavior odd.<p>As a native US citizen I wouldn't have even considered that to be nonstandard.<p>Your "know right side is on" made me think of it.<p>I don't debate your point as a whole, but not everything may be the same way worldwide you think it is.
