ADMIN HELP ME

[ActionDan]

When I learned it it was PEMDAS

Parenthesis
Edition
Multiplication
Division
And
Subtraction

"Edition" lmao.

What school was this? I think it needs more purging of the staff.

[Faraday]

wait what. that's all wrong @ 21 ok

[MattP]

In America it's "edition"

I understand that in Europe it's "addition" but that therefore changes the order of the mnemonic and therefore in America the answer is 42 while in Europe it's 30

They taught me to spell fish like "phish" in 2nd grade and they told me that was how it was spelled

I have a similar one. I spelled the Portuguese version of October (Outubro) as Octo

m

ber (Outu

m

bro) because my teacher told me that before a B or P there is always an M. She neglected to inform us that it was

just in case

we were in doubt between N and M, not just randomly add a letter before B/P.

I also know a person who, as a kid, was told the name of the letter H in Portuguese, and then tried to read a word (let's say "hour" for the sake of translation) with the H-name--creating an abomination like "aitchour". (H is "agá", the word in question was

homem

(meaning

man

; silent H). "Agáomem" is... special.)

To be fair, he might just be an adult who's forgotten the order of operations. My parents sure as hell have.

[Om of the Nom]

Am I the only one who learned it as BODMAS?
Brackets
Of
Division
Multiplication
Addition
Subtraction

[Xalxe]

Yes Om, that's a bastardization.

[Om of the Nom]

Well it was like Grade 2 maths :V

[RichardGHP]

BEDMAS.

BODMAS does not account for exponents (unless 'of' means exponents in Australian).

[Om of the Nom]

I never remember what the Of is actually for, since we never really use it anyway.
Could be exponents though.

This thread is of high quality.

If we used captchas instead of maths problems we could avoid this.

We use both, and it's not stopping the spammers

You're the only other normal one, Om.

That's why I'm here.

What would we do for entertainment without the abc's of the world?

abc was an actual person and couldn't have been prevented by captchas. Captchas are to stop automatic spammers, so I'm not sure what your point is.
