In the United States, the cold tap is usually on the right side of the faucet, and the hot tap is usually on the left side. Additionally, even though the taps may not be labelled with "hot" and "cold", sometimes the hot tap will have some sort of color marking in red, and the cold tap will have some sort of color marking in blue.

What is the Difference between reflexes and reactions?
Reaction is a feeling or action in response to something that has happened. Reactions can be spontaneous, but most are under conscious control. A reflex is a physical non-conscious action. A doctor uses a rubber hammer and taps a certain spot on the knee, ankle, elbow, or wrist and the body part further away (distal to the hammer strike) responds in reflexive movement (a jerking motion forward or up).

What letter would you see on a french hot tap?
Usually there are no letters on French taps; some old taps bear the letters C (for chaud = hot) and F (froid = cold). Hot water taps are always located on the left side, cold water taps on the right. It is also standard to find color marks (blue for cold, red for hot) on the taps. On newer models, having a central lever instead of two taps, you turn the lever to the left for hot water and to the right for more cold water. Also the blue and red marks may be found on these type of taps.
