Ah well, in USA we are too stupid to know that so we put parenthesis in our math equations to help our simple minded population out.


I knew that... however, adding parens makes it a little cleaner and obvious what to do.

Yea, I love parenthesis (if you haven't ever noticed), and a lot of math books from what I remember like to use them too.  I also like to do this... It got so bad when I first started texting that it would auto fill three periods at the end of each of my sentences.  I believe I had to delete my previous text history to make it stop doing that.
