I took strong exception to the libcoreholers' taking what was clearly and historically a commutative equation and insisting that it NOW is a "Math Sentence":
In that case, the “newbies” should develop their own nomenclature / syntax / symbology for indicating “math sentence” vs "commutative equation”-- and not bastardize/pollute/confuse by treating the latter as if it NOW MUST BE the former — although the latter has been standardized for centuries!.Their laziness and bastardization attempt is no less offensive to me than their commandeering /stealing the word meaning, “bright, colorful and happy” as their euphemism for “filthy, perverted queer”.
Same, da*ned, arrogant, liberal bull$#1+!!!
..and, that's how I'll still feel next year!
Well said. And even as a “math sentence” it can depend on where you put the “emphasis”: if you read it as “5, times 3” it would be 5 + 5 + 5 again.
Idiots.
