    You can define your notation that way if you like

    Nothing to do with me - it’s in Maths textbooks.

    without knowing the conventions the author uses, it’s ambiguous

    Well they should all be following the rules of Maths, without needing to have that stated.

          Yeah, doesn’t mean that you know what an author is talking about when you encounter it doing actual math

          The notation is not intrinsically clear, as any human writing. Ambiguous, one may say.

              We’ve been at this point, I’m not going to explain this again. But you weren’t able to read a single sentence of a wikipedia article without me handfeeding it to you, so I guess I shouldn’t be surprised. I’m sorry for your students.

                a single sentence of a wikipedia article without me handfeeding it to you

                And I told you why it was wrong, which is why I read Maths textbooks and not wikipedia.

                I’m sorry for your students

                My students are doing good thanks

                  Apparently you can’t read either textbooks or wikipedia and understand it.

                  Also, wait, you’re just a tutor and not actually a teacher? Being wrong about some incredibly basic thing in your field is one thing, but lying about that is just disrespectful, especially since you drop that in basically every sentence.
