I find it to pretty much identical, except that my hands don't have to 
leave the bars. The left shifts the chainring, the right shifts the 
cogset,  away/down for smaller and back/towards for larger

Oh dear gawd....

I have never met anyone who ever confused the shifters, even back in my 
very early days of racing with cat 4s when half of us had chainring 
'tattoos' on our right calf.

So, No, tom. No one with even the slightest competence confuses the 
right and left shifter...maybe you did, but that's you, the same idiot 
who advises 'you have to pause pedaling to shift'. As noted elsethread: 
You are beyond the shadow of a doubt the _last_ person in this forum I 
would ever even entertain taking advice from on _any_ issue.
