    Question Clockwise or Counter?

    So when you stir something, do you stir it clockwise or counter..

    I personally stir counter..Apparently it shows that I think creatively, but there could be other meanings to which way we stir right?

    I never think about this. I think I did it counter clockwise last time, but who knows what I usually do.

    Clockwise, I never payed any attention and just did here at my desk. I did it Clockwise automatically, forced myself to go counter and it felt off.

    Um, I never really thought about it. But I guess counter-clockwise most of the time, considering I'm right-handed.

    You people come up with the most random topics.

    Counter-clockwise.

    It would be interesting to point out that in most conventions, counter-clockwise is given the notation for the positive direction. So, I fail to see why you would consider clockwise to be in the natural order of things, when comparatively fewer conventions use clockwise as being the standard.

    well, I start off stirring clockwise, but that's not very efficient, so I'll throw in counterclockwise motion as well to increase the rate at which I disperse particles in the mixture.
