Because the vast majority of languages (including English!) are read 
top to bottom, not the reverse.  Do you read your books from the back 
to front?

Ahh, the same old Howard..  Reminds me of the old days in 
netaxs.general.  Now we just need Mikey what's his name to threaten 
Howard with bodily harm, and it would be just like the old days.

You see gang, Howard believes that his way is the only way, even though 
he's in the VAST minority.  Don't bother trying to help him to see that 
he's wrong - you can't get through to him.
