    People are stupid, any system that fails to take that into account and mitigate it is doomed to frustration and failure…

    I hope you’re not implying that arithmetic has somehow “failed” the human race or something.

    it does because people read (and therefore do math) left to right.

    No, it only makes more sense this way to YOU, yourself, personally. To everyone else who knows the order of operations it makes perfect sense either way. You’re projecting your own limitations on everybody else. Other people have learned the proper way to do equations.
