I feel like there’s a significant overlap between those two nowadays 😅

It’s the same as in Chinese, so I wouldn’t expect it to be 😅

True. A decade or two earlier might have been different: All the historical examples in this thread had my mind locked in to the twenties or thirties, not the fifties!

Ooof. The house itself isn’t so bad, if a little out of place, but the lawn/paver desert they placed in front of it is absolutely horrendous!

The “makeover” of the house on the left is also pretty awful.

Also, as you have less visibility when backing up it is better that there isn’t any traffic in the space you’re backing into. If you’re backing out there is a big chance of having to yield to other cars.

Oh yeah, one is way better than the other! But the lack of actual representation is still creating an “us vs. them” mindset that is straight up ruining democracy.

Sure, I might have worded myself a bit clumsily. I meant using them in a conversational way. They’re trying to say “less than 500 steps,” which is very different from “500 is larger than steps per day” in tone.

My point was just that in normal speech and writing you would say “less than 500”, which would be written “< 500” if you insisted on using the mathematical sign.
