    “The entirety of the small number constitutes a relatively smaller portion of the big number. Thus, the open side of > points to the smaller number to indicate that it’s a magnified view within the larger number.”

    I hope this helps overcomplicate things for you. We must all return to crocodile.

      Nope, it just sounds odd.

      I’ll stick with big side = big number, small side = small number.

      Crocodile? Are you guys from Florida? In Europe we learned it as duck beak, it just makes much more sense, where are the teeth? Nowhere it’s not an alligator mouth it’s a beak

        Nah fam, if your bird looks like that it’s probably dead. I also learnt it as the crocodile in Germany

          Duck, crocodile, they’re both archosaurs. Which means if it’s either, they should have a premaxillar fenestra on the lower jaw, but I’m not seeing any. Clearly, this must be a possum.

        In the pre-digital age when most of this was pencil markings, it was not uncommon to see someone had drawn the teeth in.

        Nono, we don’t do math in Florida anymore. Also we’d be more likely to use “alligator” (tho we have plenty of both)
