lower ratio means easier to move. as in 1st gear is around 3:1 ratio 2nd gear is around 2:1 3rd gear is around 1.5 : 1 and 4th gear is usually 1:1 higher gears require less engine rpm to each wheel rpm...
taller is generally the term used in diff gearing, and it's synonymous with higher. as in the engine feels like it's climbing a taller hill with a tall gear in the diff.
I agree there is a lot of confusion on terminology... but confusion does not mean it's right.
