Regarding the right-foot/left-foot issue, most martial arts and weapon techniques would be taught from a "right-handed' perspective.  Your "right hand" is your primary hand whether it's referring to your actual right hand or not.  So when your teacher calls out to a group "right foot forward", everyone puts their "primary" foot forward.  In most cases, that would be their right foot but the southpaw learns the reaction to that command is to put their left foot forward.  But she's still thinking of it in terms of "right foot" because that would have been hammered in during basic training.  So this isn't really an inconsistency, just something that would seem odd to someone who doesn't understand this aspect how martial arts are taught.
