There's "on the right" as in "the menu to the right of all the others,
but still left-justified" which I think we all agree is good. Then
there is "on the right" as in "right-justified", or "at the very right
edge of the menu bar, apart from the other menus, which are all
left-justified", which many, many people think is bad. I am no longer
certain which one you are talking about.
