memory stores in little endian (reversed bytes - low to high)
registers load into them in big endian (readable - high to low)

Little Endian and Big Endian are two ways of storing multi-byte data types (such as integers) in computer memory.

In Little Endian, the least significant byte is stored first, followed by the more significant bytes. This can be thought of as similar to writing a number from right to left.
For example, the integer value 0x12345678 would be stored in memory as follows:
```bash
 0x78 0x56 0x34 0x12
```
In Big Endian, the most significant byte is stored first, followed by the less significant bytes. This can be thought of as similar to writing a number from left to right.
For example, the integer value 0x12345678 would be stored in memory as follows:
```bash
 0x12 0x34 0x56 0x78
```
The choice between Little Endian and Big Endian is mainly a matter of convention, and different computer architectures and operating systems may use different conventions. However, it is important to consider the endianess of data when it needs to be read or written by a different system or application, as the data needs to be properly converted to the correct endian format to be interpreted correctly.
