column and row are false dichotomies
In the original physical world, a column was a "long vertical object," and naturally it was a "horizontally aligned" object (1). However, with the spread of spreadsheet software, people began to interpret "long columns" as "columns (with cells inside) lined up vertically" (2), and confusion (3) between these two interpretations arose. https://gyazo.com/d7178eeba09badf38f5eb5ed8debb45b

Grid Row
A grid row is a horizontal track in a CSS grid layout, that is the space between two horizontal grid lines.

mizchi I visualized a model in my brain where I can't remember row and column because it doesn't come across at all. If you want, I'd be willing to bug everyone who sees this.

Your brain is broken by repeatedly describing this combination.
nishio "Passing by Value? Pass by reference?" It's pass by reference!" A new example of something like that is emerging. From my point of view, 1 in the above diagram is "neither row nor column" and 2 is "column of row".
Is it row or column?" is the source of confusion.
It's funny that you think ROW and COLUMN are opposites.

It's a malicious image.
nishio Well, my brain image is this https://gyazo.com/78637371f9242c98ca0d63f3725ef3aa
nishio After all, it is relative whether you think of a long vertical object as having "small objects lined up vertically inside" or a long vertical object as having "horizontal objects lined up horizontally", so it doesn't explain anything. It is. ---
