If you say that something is two times less than something and the two things you are comparing are both positive quantities you do not know what you are talking about

Twelve is one time more than six

Eighteen is two times more than six

Zero is one time less than six

So negative six is two times less than positive six

@shortstories - The intersection of math class, and english class, can be an interesting place.

Questions for the ages. 🍻
