"Inverted" vs. "Standard" Y-Axis

Alright, here's the rub. This debate is ridiculous. But, we're about to have it anyway... in a RESPECTFUL way.

The fact of the matter is that the word "invert" means to alter a standard in an inverse way. However, there are a few factors which play into a person's preference on the matter.

1 - The games you grew up/started on.

If you grew up on Goldeneye, you learned that up is down, quite literally.

2 - The physical medium of control

I will defend with my dying breath the fact an inverted y-axis makes perfect sense on an analog stick because of how a human neck works, not to mention a more practical reference: an aircraft flight stick.

3 - Personal Preference

Sometimes, peoples' brains work differently from yours.

So, with the utmost respect, please share your preference and what you believe/know to have affected it.
