My memory is 
with a lot of reference material.
As a young chirren I learned to read from the top right to the bottom left.
But...then I went into the military.
The Field artillary is looking for a specific point to blow up.
Someone gives the gunners a spot on the map.
They all read a map starting at the bottom left, across to the right, and then up the map. Hopefully they both have the same map!
Its a system that works.
In my mind I'll always remember the first number is the 'right' or 'width' direction.
Sorry I didnt' mean to confuse. I'll be quiet now!
