Ohm's Law

Ohm's law states that the current in a wire is directly proportional to the potential difference across it's ends, right?

So why do we write V prop'l to I

when the law states I prop'l to V ?

arent they the same (just inversed constants)

V=IR => V proportional to R

I=V/R=(1/R)V => I proportional to V

Just a small, basic and stupid doubt. Please don't mind it! I fell really stupid for asking this thing. Thanks satan and sankarapandian, anyway :)
