@FredicvsMaximvs: The "current" thing was discovered before people knew about electrons. They knew there was comething that went from one side to another. Called one side "+" and the other "-" (just because they had to name them) and conventioned that the "current" went from + to -.

Later, they found out about the electrons, and that they actually traveled from - to +.

Thus, the electrons and the current travel in opposite ways.

(i hope it's understandable with my bad english...)
