Couldn't you fix this by also defining electrons as positive? Imo the physicists and electrical engineers should fight it out.

The physicists are absolutely right. However, I reject their reality and substitute my own

That sounds like the electrical engineers I know

All words are just made up.

No I need cations to be positive because the t in the word looks like a little plus sign so that's an easy way to remember which is cathode/anode or cation/anion.

This was very helpful on tests.
