Tape measure mystery

Why does it seem that the majority of tape measures are designed for left-handed people? Unless you use one alot, you probably never noticed it. When a right-handed person uses a tape measure and pencil to mark a measurement, they usually hold the tape in the left hand while marking with the right. Most tapes will have the numbers upside down in this scenario. After using a tape measure literally thousands of times over the years, I have mis-marked several times, ALL attributed to this design. Any ideas why they're made this way?
