@bemmesr@mathstodon.xyz Did you know the Windows calculator in Standard mode says 2+3x4=20? "I will use as many brackets as necessary" - do whatever you want. The rules of Maths will stay the same. No-one wants to write 10 times as many brackets when none of them are needed "As for brackets being new, this isn't really an argument" - and how do you think it was written before we started using brackets? And do you think anyone was confused about it? 😂 "less ambiguous, over time" - it was NEVER ambiguous
