This isn’t even math, just convention on rules for order of operations.

The one response you got was just like, "But there's just ONE rule." totally missing your point.

Order of operations only has one rule: Bedmas (or pemdas if you're not from north america)

Huh it was always pemdas in both highschool and college in new England for me.... they were also always parentheses. 'Brackets' only reffered to '[ ]' which were reserved for matrices or number sets, eg 2*[2,5,8]+2= [6,12,18]
