"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.
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
In the pre-digital age when most of this was pencil markings, it was not uncommon to see someone had drawn the teeth in.
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.
I'm thinking horribly mangled German bank executive with a lisp 🤷
I'm from Europe and I learned it as a wale (and I'm from southern Europe)
I learned it as Pac Man.
Nono, we don’t do math in Florida anymore. Also we’d be more likely to use “alligator” (tho we have plenty of both)
A greedy crow is what they told me
