This is getting ridiculous. How long until we have things uncountably more than other things?
So if y is small compared to x, you might say y = o(x), or if it's really small compared to x, you might say y = o(x²), or if it's really really really small, o(x⁶)... whatever you need for your proof.
(o(x²) is more impressively small than o(x) because x < 1)
That reminds me of something about the Greek letters Omega (Ω, ω) and Omicron (Ο, ο). O-mega means "big O" and O-micron means "small O".
