what does this mean on twitter? - Kelsi - 09-30-2012 10:47 AM
for example somebody will say,
money > love
hot dogs > hamburgers
i know that it is signifying which one is better to them, but how can you tell which one it is? lol
oh ok i get it, it's just like the math problems but words. lol i didn't think of it like that.

Whichever the arrow > is pointing two is always the lesser.
For example if you preferred Coca Cola to Pepsi, you would say..
Coca Cola > Pepsi.
Hope it helps.

The gapped side is the one that's better. I thought they taught this in elementary school... The "alligator's mouth" is opened to the one that he prefers.

They are saying money is greater than love, hot dogs are better than hamburgers.

Money is better than love
Hot dogs are better than hamburgers
the symbol points to the smallest (or least favorite in this situation)

You read from left to right. So, the first one is the greatest in this scenario.
8 > 2 or, 8 is greater than two.
If the sign is flipped, the first item is less than.
4 < 29 or, 4 is less than 29
- Jabas - 09-30-2012 10:55 AM
money < love = love comes before money
hot dogs > hamburgers = you prefer hot dogs over hamburgers
the one with the open side facing it is the one they prefer, like better, etc.
hope i helped
