Hear, hear! That comment of Andy's has always annoyed me too. If your thermostat is set at say, 76, and you want it colder, you turn it DOWN, not UP. Maybe years and years ago air conditioners were different?
Reminds me of car windows. Have you ever wondered why we say "roll down the window?" You aren't "rolling" anything, the car window is a solid piece of glass. But 100 years ago, car windows (and before that, carriage windows) were like window shades. You rolled them down to close them, and rolled them up to open them -- now it's backwards. One more pet peeve: that big tank of water in your house is a water heater, not a "hot water heater." You don't need to heat hot water, it's already hot!
