You can read more about the relationship between flexbox and the Writing Modes specification in a later article however, the following description should help explain why we do not talk about left and right and top and bottom when we describe the direction that our flex items flow in. Modern layout methods encompass the range of writing modes and so we no longer assume that a line of text will start at the top left of a document and run towards the right hand side, with new lines appearing one under the other. In the past, CSS was heavily weighted towards horizontal and left-to-right writing modes. Another vital area of understanding is how flexbox makes no assumption about the writing mode of the document.
