You're being weirdly aggressive, but okay.

Most people know the symbols for addition subtraction multiplication and division. Far fewer people know the established order of operations. That's what powers those "only 3% of people solve this problem correctly!" math memes.

But okay. Communicate badly (ie: by failing to acknowledge your audience's context) and be smug if you want.

    Oh you're gonna love my other reply then.

    Don't expect me to pander to willful ignorance. If you're going to act like an idiot, expect to be treated like one.

    Also, what's with the passive aggressiveness? I understand that my confrontational approach there can make some people uncomfortable, but it's my prerogative.
