A vector can be expressed by a column matrix or by a row matrix, however is preferably use the column matrix for represent vectors and row matrix for covectors.
So, analogously, we can express a vector v as v1 e1 + v2 e2 or as v1 e1 + v2 e2. But I think that a vector is represented more correctly with one of those two possibilities, whereas that a covector is better represented with the other. The question is, which representation is the ideal representation for a vector and for a covector?
