Everything in their place - There is an invisible world of labels. Everything must have it label on it like the sugar bowl, the salt shaker and even the taps in the bathroom. How do we know which tap is hot and which is cold if the top does not have H or C to tell us.
When driving down the street, do you know which light of the three hanging stop lights is green. Is it the top light or the bottom. (Yes, even I know the middle is yellow) Likewise, a plumber will tell you the hot is always on the left side of the sink.
In quebec, the plumbling is less expensive if the contractor purchases the bathroom faucets in English. The Americian market and its volume make for a enorous difference. But the french want the faucets to say Chaud et Froid or "C" and "F". Well the "C" of cold is moved to the left for "Chaud" and then they find a "F" for Froid. Sometimes the "H" of Hot on the English faucets are left there. "One arguement was "No one is going to burn them self with the "H" instead of "F" on the cold faucet.
Another way is to just not have any letters on the top of the Faucets. or An empty (non-letter) plug on the cold faucet.
