European style switches are off with the top half pressed in and on when the bottom half is pressed in (multiway switches excluded). This is a hill I'm willing to die on and I will be looking down on installers doing it otherwise.

I've always been in houses where there are multiple switches in different rooms existing for the same light for convenience, so I judge the on/off state of a switch by whether or not it's currently dark somewhere lol

Up should be on because they're both 2 letters, and together make the word "upon".

My house has them both ways because fuck your expectations lol

This happens in rooms that have 2 panels, and when it does skill cross a room 2x to get them back to up=on.

We turn things UP to increase and DOWN to decrease. I'm not going to die on this hill but I will do everything I can behind the scenes to erode and undermine the hill of the enemy. Up to and including using my multi tool to flip your switches upside down. For the realm.
