      I cannot stress this enough. If you have a problem with that, contact the author or Berkeley, not me.

                You can stop humoring this broken robot. Especially when the context is ‘yeah I already said this textbook is wrong, but I am better than you because you need to read this textbook.’

                  They seem to believe that and on the 8th day God made the one true objective order of operations that all humans use and agree on.

                    Except for that time the definition of division changed 130 years ago. Which is not a rule! It’s notation, or syntax, or possibly sometimes a rule. Whichever one lets them sneer hardest.

                    I tried explaining RPN to them a year ago. They still insist there’s parentheses in it. Today they called it an “app.”

                    Dogmatic patience vampire is still trying to bait me into further wasted effort.
