The difference of two numbers is always negative

OpenStudy (compassionate):

Wrong. The difference between two numbers is always positive. You find the difference by adding its negative. (i.g.,: 5 - 3)

OpenStudy (nikato):

Isn't sometimes? Ex. 2-8=-6 which is negative But 8-2=6 which is positive But the statement "the difference of two numbers is always negative" is false
