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.’
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.
Oh of course. The sky isn’t blue unless that’s written in a maths textbook.
And if you look up and see stars, it’s still blue, because it’s written in a maths textbook! Are you saying a teacher could be wrong?!, smug emoji, crying emoji, roll-eyes emoji?
Tell them, not me.
You’re the one commenting without reading Maths textbooks
Go tell Berkeley I did that.

Wowww. Insisting that they’re good at math. I distinctly remember learning that RPN doesn’t need parentheses in college.

But, you know, anyone can edit Wikipedia. Someone probably put that there who hasn’t opened a math textbook.

What for? They don’t care if you’re Mathematically illiterate
