This is the first time I'm hearing about this too so I think there is more to it. I don't even see why a mnemonic is required since the shape of both '<' and '>' clearly demonstrate the relationship that the operator is testing.

I probably should have chosen a better mnemonic to start from! I'd point out that if you see greater and less than more like arrows it's utterly confusing. I'm not denying I'm probably weird in that respect, it's just something I have to use tricks to remember….

Also a lot of people have trouble with the back and forward slashes. When teaching html, people got the closing slash mixed up, it was all over the place.
