2/7
He then, notably, never mentions Terms again! He goes on to say "each symbol applies only to the factor (or divisor) immediately following it" - also correct (we'll be coming back to this next week for reasons)
He then tries to interpret Terms as things that have to be multiplied (sigh), and admits "I have not been able to find a single instance where this is so interpreted" - should've taken that as a clue(!), but he persists with his "everyone is wrong except me" Youtu... I mean letter...

3/7 He also says "Note the sign X to indicate multiplication" - again, that was a clue for you, and again I will say, the "M" for Multiplication in the mnemonics means LITERALLY multiplication signs, as Lennes has just highlighted (and yet he still missed the point!). From here he keeps referring to Terms as "products", which would be a valid thing to do... had he understood that a product in the RESULT of performing a multiplication! I'll illustrate with some algebra...
