Oh, it’s definitely not normally a comparison of two different tweets’ ratios, that’s just what I’m gathering from this. Normally it’s the ratio within one tweet, though Wikipedia also notes that your interpretation is also now common.

I looked it up because you’re right that it’s not the intuitive meaning and I am really not a twitter person, and I found this article that feels like reading your middle school diary and seeing all the silly little problems you thought were so big.

It would be so nice to have a speaker like Paul Ryan today. I mean, not nice nice, just more manageable.

People tweeting stuff. We allow tweets from anyone.

RULES:

  1. Mark NSFW content.
  2. No doxxing people.
  3. Must be a pic of the tweet or similar. No direct links to the tweet.
  4. No international politcs
  5. Be excellent to each other.
  6. Provide an archived link to the tweet (or similar) being shown if it's a major celebrity, figure or any politician. If you replace the "x" at their site with xcancel (so it beomes xcancel.com), and you're not on mobile, it will save video. https://web.archive.org/save is another great option. Archive.is is no longer recommended because they remove/alter content.
  7. If a tweet (or similar) makes a statement of fact, either mark it as "satire" in the body or provide the original source link backing up the statement
