Feb 22, 2012 at 20:53 comment added David Z Well, just because you want to use this in physics literature doesn't mean it's necessarily appropriate here. Language questions that are very specialized to physics may be okay on this site, but for something like this, we do have an English Language & Usage site that might be better placed to offer answers. I'll check with the moderators over there and see if they would like to take it.
Feb 22, 2012 at 17:33 comment added Frank Meulenaar @Qmechanic: it doesn't contain physics, but I want to use this in physics literature, so this stackexchange site seemed most appropriate. I guess I'm the only one wondering about this question here...
Feb 20, 2012 at 21:37 comment added Qmechanic The question(v2) seems to be basically a language question about how to read $x<y$ aloud in English for various signs of the two real numbers $x$ and $y$. It contains no physics.

Feb 20, 2012 at 6:39 comment added David Z Is the fact that the numbers are measured with interferometers significant? Or are you asking a general question that applies to any measurement made with any sort of (distance-)measuring device?
