(in article op.0ps315mnwdg98l@glass):

I have a major problem with Windows dialog boxes. Everything in my life is
affirmative action to the right (stereo volume control, car accelerator,
etc). Linux and Mac have OK on the right, that's fine. Even though I
virtually never use those two OSes, non-computer things in life have
ingrained it into my head that yes is on the right and no is on the left.
Almost 50% of the time I subconsciously click the wrong button in a Windows
dialog box because I expect OK to be on the right. "Do you want to save
this?" "Yes, oh no, I pressed cancel!"

There must be some utility I can use to swap these buttons over?

I suspect that you won=E2=80=99t want to hear it, but the default on Macs
is to
have OK on the right... And, back in the days of the Resource Editor,
it was
possible, though very much advised against, to dig up ResEdit
(that=E2=80=99s
ResEdit,https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ResEdit not RegEdit) and make changes
to the dialogs. I used to use ResEdit to do things like add command-key
combinations, change the names of menus, change the colours of menus, and
generally play around inside apps and system files, though only on a copy.
Many was the time that what seemed like a minor change (setting the
Finder=E2=80=99s menus to be black with white text, for example) proved to
be a
Very Bad Idea.

I used it some. Still have keyboard layouts I made with it and they still
work on macOS.

Hasn't it always been called "MacOS"?

Nope. In the Classic days it was System 1, System 2, System 3, System 4,
Software System 5, Software System 6, Software System 7/Mac OS 7, Mac OS 8,
Mac OS 9... then Mac OS X, then OS X, then macOS. And somewhere in there the
older Mac was called "Classic" as it ran on the newer one.

All very simple, of course.

Well better than 1,2,3,95 anyway.

They had the other numbers but they were not good enough to release... even
for MS.

But now Apple have started this bull**** with animals. How can anyone
remember whether a Tiger or a Leopard is better?

I still tend to think of them by their numbers.... though with some the names
were made to show connections (Snow Leopard followed Leopard for example).

Now they have gone all the way up to 11!

Yeah but Firefox is on about 70. Seems their programmers don't know what a decimal point is.
