Comment Re: upside down keypads? (Score 1) 120
Unlike a calculator which could begin at the top or bottom of the 10-key, the telephone has to have 1 at the top left, because we read left to right & top to bottom. Add in the alphabet which likewise needs to begin with A at the top left. Logically, when we associate numbers to letters, A is first, ie 1, and the rest of the alphabet follows in numerical order. So there is no logical way for the telephone keypad to be arranged
