Doc, I like you and all, but you are in the minority on this one. You are the only one that I have ever heard refer to gears this way.
Short, low, digger, deep gears = 3.91 and numerically higher.
Tall, long, highway, freeway gears = 2.76, 2.93 etc.
Rear axles are named the same way as transmissions. In transmissions, the "Low" gears are the higher numbers 3.09, 2.66, 2.74, 2.45, etc. "High" gears are the lower #'s, as in 1.0, .70, .67, etc.
Same thing for the rear axles - low or short gears are 5.13, 4.56, 4.30, 4.11, etc.
High or tall is 2.45, 2.71, 2.76, 2.94, etc. 
Free advice and worth every penny...

2.76 ratio: "high" speed gear
4.88 ratio: "low" speed gear
I will accept this ......
A label of low or high SPEED gear ... but don't attach the word RATIO to it ... and THAT is what we are talking about here.
And Jared ...Xtra cheese on mine ..

Not to throw a wrench into things, but I've always thought and heard that the difference was in relation to the engine RPMS at a certain speed.... hence a "low" geared 2.76 is only turning a low RPM of say, 2800.. where a "higher", steeper geared 4.11 is in the upper, higher RPM range near the redline...
High geared cars climb the tach faster, low geared cars climb the tach slower... But.. a TALL geared car has the 2.76 because it runs out faster like running with longer legs... mad max-style. A Short geared car runs out of steam quickly, like running with short legs.. 1/8th mile warrior.
so there is an opposite in the terminology... Low and tall and high and short...
But "High Gear" in relation to *gears* like first through fourth comes from old two-speed transmissions, in relation to the speed. Rabbit and Turtle...

Hahahaha man that is a good joke,I have never heard that one before. Did you just make that up? Whew that is rich,man you must be a genius.
My favorite band is Nirvana,hence the name.I am such a big shot wanna be,you got me,I drive a 4 door slant six dart,and I like grunge bands,whew im such a poser.
I like how you go for the personal attack when someone points out the fact that you are wrong. You claim to be an old man,yet you act like a child.
I thought you were DONE .... Mr wannabe' Playboy ....
And YOU are WRONG based on DD's explanation ....
... and I will have Xtra mayo on my sandwich too !
