What's more frequent (already established), resp. more desirable in English terminology?

Calling it 3-5 point or 5-3 ?

Malcolm Off the top of my head, perhaps 5-3 is more frequent? I'm not sure that either way is more desirable. It could be a matter of taste or style. My vote is that both terms are fine!

Bill: I mix them up, too. However, I say 3-4, perhaps to emphasize its low character. But I say 5-4, perhaps to emphasize its high character. I also say 6-4 and 6-3. So maybe I'm leaning towards 5-3. Ah, for the days of mokuhazushi! ;)

Dave: Ishida's Joseki Dictionary used 5-3 and 5-4 rather than 3-5 and 4-5.

Bob McGuigan: Isn't there some convention about which comes first, horizontal or vertical index, when describing a move? When letters and numbers are used the letters seem always to refer to the horizontal index and the numbers to the vertical, so D10 refers to the left side star point.
