    Agree.

    I think people’s ability to effectively Google varies though. There are people who will write full questions in, or fail to iteratively improve their search terms based on the results, and ignoring the fact that bard is actually pretty good if they start using that, googling is much more effective if you stick to relevant keywords and search using operators.

    Americans use PEMDAS, in the UK we use BODMAS, and I assume other English speaking countries use one or the other, but there is no difference between them in terms of order of operations, because it’s:

    1. brackets (parenthesis)

    2. orders (exponentials)

    3. division & multiplication (multiplication & division), performed left to right

    4. addition & subtraction, performed left to right

    People who choose to divide or multiply first because of the acronym have just forgotten that they go together left to right.
