I know there is a syntactically correct way that everyone knows and accepts, but it does depend on what the expression is.
Do you write it 5 > 3 or 3 < 5?

When I was in elementary school I knew how to use the signs but not how to read them. So I’d always read it as greater than and flip it. So 3 < 5 I would read out loud as “5 is greater than 3”. My teacher quickly corrected me though. So it was only for like a week or so.

Exactly, both of those statements convey the same information but are encoded in different ways.
To a foreigner, seeing the > < brackets may be more contextual than it is symbolic.
