Well, for starters, electricity i.e. electrons flows from negative to
positive.

ELECTRONS flow from a negative point to a more positive point; what is
known as "conventional current" --what all engineers design with--
goes from positive to negative. I think it was Benjamin Franklin who
made the original mistake, in deciding that current flows from a
positive terminal to a negative. It really makes no difference to
design calculations, so long as you keep your conventions in mind.
