One you get used to it, you read it as "clock is between 0.25 and 0.75."

Read it "is my money more than 25?"  Ignore the < vs >, and read the 
order the variables are in. Like the "number line" you learned in grade 
school. It's really not any more confusing than starting to count at 
zero and continuing while less than your limit. Once you get used to it...

It especially helps when working with time and timestamps, I find. 
Whatever's on the right is later, whatever is on the left is earlier.
