Not really an English issue but a math one. Still. When people say, "Oh wow, I've gone 360 degrees on that issue!"

What they mean is that they have not moved. 360 degrees is a complete circle.

What you WANT to say is 180 degrees, which is from one end to an opposite end.

Except if you are talking to a 'leftie'.
