    Right but that < and > stuff was not taught back in my school days however I still do remember that = stands for equals. Graduated from H.S. In 1954.

    But I thought they taught and you learned so much more back then? Those basic math symbols should have been taught in grade school and used all the way through college.

    Basic math? Hell, we were lucky to have "basic arithmetic" back in the 40's. We did learn how to treat others with respect, don't take others possessions and be a person that keeps his/her word. With that in mind, back then there were many many few attorneys roaming around.
