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.
