the only people who refer to engines as left and right are the spotting fraternity
For reasons I have been unable to determine, Boeing numbers their engines on the B707, 727, 737, 747 and 777, but on the B767 (and, because it is a common type rating), I assume also on the B757 it uses the terms left and right to describe engines.

Maybe they are frustrated spotters.........
