Am I just obtuse?

For  a while now I've noticed that whenever I need to rotate a drawing view, I usually have to do it twice to get it where I want. Then I realized my problem is that I thought of rotation in clockwise direction, which makes general sense. Then I thought maybe I just wasn't thinking the way SW thinks, but then I noticed that even the little icon for Rotate View is in the CLOCKWISE direction. So what does it always rotate CCW? Am I missing something?
