> Some drawing systems take coordinates in x,y but the origin is top left
Right, as I said, top left coordinate system makes sense to me (like in the browser), so does bottom left (like in OpenGL) it's just the fact that CSS expects (y,x) not (x,y) for margins and padding short-hands, regardless of the coordinate system that confuses me.
>top left coordinate system makes sense to me
top left is where reading is assumed to start in Western societies, maybe other systems have the same because of the natural feeling this inspires.
