Pick a tool, learn how to use it, and then use it, but PLEASE don't waste time trying to convince the world that YOUR tool is the best one, or the only one that should exist, or some kind of Eternal Truth. That kind of debate belongs in a religion forum, not here.

Quiz: Which algebraic order of operations is Eternally True? or is the best one? or is the only one that should exist?

Answer: Those are stupid questions. Re-read the Lesson above.

EDIT: Whoa Nellie, sorry for being so easily annoyed. I didn't have my coffee this morning. Yeah, I'll blame that. <blush>

Apology accepted. But yes, like I said before, I mean and meant no offence. To clarify, I was taught, for example, my earlier illustration 6/2(1+2) because it is written as such and I thought PEDMAS and BODMAS lead to the same answer. But, I guess, PEDMAS and BODMAS lead to two different solutions.
