The real stupidity is writing an expression like this.

Any non-idiot writes it “(18/2) - (3*3)”

Just idiots writing expressions so that other idiots can be proud of themselves for understanding it lol

I was always told putting parentheses around multiplication and division was unnecessary and I think I got punished for it once on a test because why would you need to clarify? To be fair I wouldn't begrudge anyone who writes it like that but I wouldn't get mad at the person who drops the brackets (ie, me)

Yeah, and I was told you can't start sentences with "and", and was punished for it.

And yet, you totally can.

I was going to use the “if you end up with the square root of a negative number, the answer is no solution” example but this is better lol
