>Which way is up, on a sphere?
Which is precisely the point of little affectation. I live on "The Fish of Maui", and the far north of the island is the tail, with the southern extremity being the head, so Maaori have long gone down North, and up South, at least on this island, and this trait has been carried over into Maaori English. But for me, it is a deliberate affectation to highlight the point you raise.
