Hello All In math and physics we typically use terms clockwise and anti-clockwise and not right and left for rotation. This change will make it easy for kids to learn the terms that they will eventually use in math and physics anyway. The change I am proposing is to alias right rotation with two more names: clockwise or cw and left rotation with two more names: anticlockwise or acw. Programmers who are currently using left or right can continue to do so. Based on the documentation supplied by Steven, I agree that everyone programming is using right and left but it might be in the right direction to program using clockwise and anticlockwise.
