I've long worried about this, and it is starting to happen: Some students aren't sure which way is "clockwise" anymore. (The screenshot below is from a student's answer on a test I just gave, in which the word "counterclockwise" was used.) #DeathOfAnalog 
Just to clarify, since some people in the thread below found my tweet confusing: The image shown in the tweet is not the answer to a test question; it’s a mnemonic diagram that a student drew to help himself or herself remember which way is counterclockwise.
The mnemonic is drawn correctly (obviously!) and I have no objection to that. Nor do I have any objection to students using mnemonics; they can be helpful, especially during the stress of a test. What I found amazing was that the student felt the need to draw such a mnemonic.
