    Or it simply could be that I haven’t needed to concern myself with the order of operations more than a dozen times since high school. Even when working as a web coder it was so seldom necessary that I can’t recall a single example.

    The US education system was still pretty decent when I was in middle and high school in the 1980s, so we definitely covered this in algebra.

      I haven’t had to do this shit in 20 years since college. Literally nothing like this in my career path, I was shit at math in high school and college, so I didn’t even remember that there was a multiplication there since it isn’t explicit. Oh well.
