[math-fun] Left/right parity in websites
I went to an Israeli web site, but I couldn't read it in Hebrew (which reads right-to-left). I clicked on the "English" button, and the web site then appeared in English, _but all the pictures (jpg & png) were also L/R mirrored_ ! I couldn't tell if this L/R mirroring of the images was a bug or a clever tongue-in-cheek joke. (I suppose that the mirroring could also be a sign of mild laziness; the same page layout might work better with everything mirrored, rather than simply mirroring the text.) Perhaps I need to inquire at this website about how CPT is working there; perhaps I've contacted a web site in an alternate universe!
In the absence of a URL for evidence, I was going to suggest it was all your imagination. But then I realized that in that case the pictures would have rotated 90 degrees instead. --Michael On Wed, Jul 16, 2014 at 2:59 PM, hbaker1 <hbaker1@pipeline.com> wrote:
