I meant 90 degree angles. "Straight angles" comes from my Swedish. And
that's a literal translation of an expression, which in Swedish implies
90 degree angles. Expressions, as well as figures of speech, are
dangerous, because when translated to another language, might not at all
mean what you were thinking.

Me too but not to the extent of be labeled OCD. And I like
straight angles when I draw on a paper. :-)
