We all probably confirm this ourselves. When we visit a new website,
typically the first place we look is the left side or the masthead.
The natural left-to-right motion takes our eye then to the right side
of the page, then farther down.

You do realise there’s nothing *natural* about that? Not even half the

Correct - but all readers of English go left to right. Those that read Hebrew
may go right to left, but they won’t be doing that here (and if they are it
serves them right to be confused).
