Also, note that the original expression did not use a "/", but a "÷"

The picture of the calculators is different than the typed text in the post. The original expression on the calculators did use a "/" and the note used a "÷"

OK, good point. My point is that a division operator does not automatically make everything to the right of it a denominator.

People who read it that way are considering the sign to be making a fraction. That’s not what the symbol means. As I said in my post 308.
