6,967 PointsLayout_alignStart or Layout_alignLeft/right?
Don't they essentially do the same thing? In what scenario would you use left/right instead of start/end? I tried reading: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/25555953/whats-the-difference-between-the-layout-alignstart-tag-and-and-layout-alignleft
I tried reading the link above, but I couldnt really grasp how it can relate to consistency, could soemone clarify my mind?

56,413 Pointsstart/end are the same as either left/right. Which one depends on the device's language because some languages read right-to-left. So start is the side where you start reading, and end the side where you stop.
